Lucrezia

New grave this year. This one is heavy. Storing it for the year I was crawling around on a raised shelf section of the basment trying to wrangle her!

Mr. Old Fashion Halloween did a lot more hand carving this year so by the time he got to this gravestone he bought the urn at Goodwill. Old lamp base or candle holder the top was broken off. Coated in Loctite and layers of paint.

In cemetery symbology the draped urn represents the veil between the living and the dead. The veil is canvas dipped in paint and drywall mud. The entire stone has multiple layers of paint. We now have a family chart for the Grimsby cemetery to keep track of everyone.
