A simple and timeless design, classical but not classicist because it does not subscribe to any ism.
Bronze doors with palm fronds, symbolic of victory over death.

B. F. Jones Monument, Allegheny Cemetery
Like a stone mushroom, this is the visible outcropping of an underground mausoleum. Instead of a heroic statue of steel baron Benjamin Franklin Jones, we get a contemplative allegorical pair, one laying a wreath and palm of victory where his body is buried, the other looking upward hoping to find the real B. F. Jones in that direction. Old Pa Pitt hopes so, too.
We have more pictures of the B. F. Jones monument from 2014.
