Nicholson Monument, Homewood Cemetery
There may be others, but this is the only zinc monument old Pa Pitt can remember finding in the Homewood Cemetery.

Jane Brown Monument, Homewood Cemetery
An exceptional Gothic monument with beautiful foliage-and-flower reliefs. The inscription is also exceptional, with a wide variety of different lettering styles.

Maintenance Building, Homewood Cemetery

Shoemaker Mausoleum, Homewood Cemetery
A very simple rustic design with a snatch of classical detailing. It is attractive and dignified, so Father Pitt hopes it will not be taken as insulting when he says that it looks a bit like a garden shed.
