A remarkable tombstone

After years of walking everyday through the current Park City cemetery, not only can we attest that we’ve never seen any sign of life after death, and still that we’ve seen a huge variety of tombstones and other funeral monuments. 

On that particular topic, we find quite a few benches in lieu of tombstones where visitors can sit on to rest, pray or meditate.

Magpies that are legion in that peaceful space use them as perches but prefer standing on monuments that are high enough to give them a commanding view of their surroundings as those are marked with their droppings. 

Humans may use these too as a resting spot, but I have yet to see them do it. Then comes this “cube-headstone” that I find aesthetically pleasant, different and unique. 

The other striking element about its shape, is that no bird can comfortably stand on it to poo, and the great and best news of all is that no sane human being will ever think of sitting on that sharp cube!
