Next week we celebrate Halloween, which now occupies the place in our children’s hearts that used to be occupied by the dated and all-but-forgotten holiday called Christmas. If you have not yet thought of a way to scare the pants off the sweet little urchins, you might consider taking some inspiration from New England cemeteries.

There are more delightful gravestone ornaments at The Mirrour of the World, or Thymage of the Same.
