Condo Graves

Many graves in England house the bodies of several bodies buried at different depths.  Cost of the plot, burial fees, etc., forced survivors to '”sublet” the grave space of their beloved family member.

In this example, Mary Hurst, Susanna Lukin and Robert Covell are ‘bunk mates’ in the same grave.

William and Emmeline Bennett Tombstones

The headstones of my great uncle William Bennett and his wife Emmeline Cuddy Bennett in the Mechanicsburg Cemetery, Boone County, Indiana.

The design of the markers is unique.  The main markers look like upright stones that are mounted on their sides horizontally.
