Cemetery Pics

Charels Schifferdecker Mosulume

Charles Schifferdecker's mausoleum
at the Mount Hope Cemetery in Joplin/Webb City, MO. It was 2006 when I went here, hopefully I will go back soon. This cemetery is only about 2 hours away from me and I think I would like to go back to get some photos for inspiration for some tombstones I would like to build for Halloween 2010.

I've seen a lot of these keyhole like tombstones, this one has an arch.

This tombstone above has a flower carved into it. This is a little cemetery near Rader, MO. There were a lot of carved stones in this cemetery.

Woodmen of the World Tombstone

I love these old Woodman of the World Tombstones. Some of you who know how to make tombstones out of foam already; I would love to see if anyone could build any one of these stones or mausoleums. I will be posting some photos of the stones we will be building as soon as I can get some funding to buy some foam and materials.
