ART AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE CEMETERY

Thomas R. Dilley in his excellent book The Art of Memory (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 2014), says, “As is true of any artistic or architectural endeavor, the appearance of a cemetery monument often provides a sometimes subtle reflection of what was important to its creator or patron. Further, in the case of cemetery art, the work constitutes a message for succeeding generations about the views of life, death, and the afterlife held by local residents.” While the entire presentation (pages 117-243) is exceptional reading, see especially pages 138-141 entitled “The Treestone.”
