A big urn on a towering shaft seems like a mixed metaphor, but it certainly makes the Kloman plot easy to find. It was probably put up in about 1879, when the first Kloman buried here died. There is generous space on the base for inscriptions, but nothing has ever been inscribed.
It is common in Catholic cemeteries to see a monument that in all other respects would be called an obelisk, but that terminates in a cross instead of a point. Obelisks in Catholic cemeteries are seldom left without some Christianizing symbol to exorcise the demons of paganism. This one was probably put up in 1874, when Martin Connolly died.
One of the most elegant Ionic mausoleums in the city, this one is notable for its perfectly balanced classical details and its tastefully ornate bronze doors.
A striking monument from about 1879 (when the first Glockner in this plot died), with the slightly chunky-looking details typical of the era.
The polished Doric columns seem almost out of place on this otherwise rustic mausoleum. The effect is like the effect of a mixed metaphor: it draws attention to itself, though you understand what it means.
