There is a nice oval around a cemetary that I run at when I am visiting the parents. Today I decided to go looking at the headstones.....it is a fairly new graveyard and it is different than most because it doesnt really look like one with all the trees, shrubs all around and it is out in the country. Anyways, it is a new trend to have an actual picture of the person in the headstone? I saw that a bunch, also, really elaborate headstones. Well, as I was walking around (lots of rather young people buried) and I walked to one that had the photo and it was a guy I graduated with in high school. If not for the picture I doubt I would of recognized the name. His headstone was nice, he loved to sing and play guitar and they had that on it along with "Singing in Heaven." I remember he was in my senior english class and the teacher asked him to sing and he sang a song for the class. He died 4 years after we graduated and it said he was a dad.

they always assume that everybody goes to heavenI'd like to see a tombstone saying "He is burning in hell" and then a picture of a screaming dude on fire

the photo thing was aparently kind of popular around the time photography apeared. I found my great great grandfathers headstone in new mexico, and behind or in an oval glass bead about 3" high it has a picture of him in it. Its got this black rot or water stain covering most of it, and the rest is so faded you can hardly see a thing, but its a photo.

Not an actual photograph, but the dead person's face carved into the stone.My old best friend's headstone has his likeness in the stone.

That's not a new cemetary. The new ones have the lcd picture frames with slideshows.
