A beautiful abstract classical memorial that reminds old Pa Pitt of middle-twentieth-century cartoons of heaven. The most recent inscription remembers Marian Becker Cummins, who died in 2017 at the age of 101.

Joseph Adams Monument, Chartiers Cemetery
Topped with an unusually abstract urn, this monument is very eclectic in its influence, with a sharp Gothic point and Greek-key ornaments. The abstract foliage tracery is a pleasing touch.

Urn, Mount Lebanon Cemetery
This urn bears no markings, or at least none that old Pa Pitt could find. It is picturesque in its way, whether it marks a grave or whether it is just a landscape decoration.

Koegler Mausoleum, South Side Cemetery
An unusual Romanesque design, though with a little point at the top of the arch to suggest the Gothic in case you don’t like Romanesque.
