Entrance to Cemetery

20 years on June 30th, my father-in-law passed away. I have not met him – but heard a lot of his stories from his daughter. His grave was tucked in the lonely corner of the cemetery, with few other lease graves behind his plain concrete one.

Every time I visit this cemetry, I stroll around other the path, reading the epitaph, taking pictures. There are few old graves with teary lines which marked the loss. This time too, I went around taking pictures of the epitaphs, and those marble statues chiseled from marble.

Do you like reading epitaphs and visiting old unknown graves?
What do you think when you read them?
What and how did they die – old age, or something that took them early?
Do you think how this cemetery might have looked some 50 or 60 years ago?
Have you thought of epitaph that should go on your grave?

Long tearful Epitaph

One of my sentimental place are the old time cemeteries. I have been to the Hosur Cemetry during All Souls Day. It’s located next to a busy road, covered by granite walls. This large cemetery has many old timers buried with well written epitaphs.

The pictures shared on this post is from the cemetery at Hyderabad. My father-in-law and few other relatives are buried here. When we visit Hyderabad, this place marks one of our visit. During the visit, we get a person to clean the grave, light candles, place roses and my wife pray for her dad, uncles and aunts.
