I just wonder whether the stonemason for the top one charged by the letter??
Here are two pictures of graves I like
Firstly the tomb of Mad Jack Fuller, 18th century entrepeneur and MP who got out of work locals to build lots of follies in East Sussex to provide them with work. He was reputed to be buried at a table inside the tomb eating lunch but I think that was a myth.

Why is this on a grave?
I don't know whether there has been a thread like this before, but I wondered whether anyone had any photos of unusual graves?
Here are two to start off with;
Found this while looking for gggg grandma's unmarked grave...sad story that caught my eye - a stark reminder of the dangers of coal mining
Why is this on a grave?
In respect to the tiangular one by kerryb. I saw a triangular one on the shiverpool tour. Supposed to be someone in there seated a table with playing cards after playing with the devil!
re bevbee's very first post (the small stone with three sets of initials)
The Parish church of Lampeter has many similar stones. Most of them were people from the local Workhouse. Here it is known who is referred to by the initials as the workhouse kept records - which are now in Ceredigion Archives in Aberystwyth - but maybe your stone was in memory of newborn or very young children?
