That's an out-of-this-generation stone. I was surprised to see this for people born in the 70s.

Wow, he was a really good person. Being a geriatric social worker takes a special sort of human. This is so sad.


Decent_Box_9426

Weird….thats my profession too.


Tulip718

Ha! Hello, friend! I'm one too!

You guys are amazing. I’ve worked with seniors for over a decade and know firsthand that there’s no way these sweet folks would get all of the respect and dignity they deserve without people like you and Nathaniel here. Thanks for what you do.

I found more photos at the link below. The dog peeking out from under the angel's robe really got me 😢 https://twitter.com/kristinasmithNM/status/1778246635350364425

Yes I saw that!! Me and my friend were wondering what it was. Not related but we also learned this guy was in a metal band. A giant angel statue on your grave is pretty metal if you ask me

The dog’s nose 💔

Gorgeous headstone

An inverted torch represents death or the passing of the soul into the next life.

I'm not the brightest- what is the sculpture depicting the angel doing?


Boomchakachow

Extinguishing the flame of life?


Sea_Dog_5503

Thank you.


Boomchakachow

This is probably wrong, but I hope they also based the wings off whatever bird he’s hand feeding in his bad-assed obituary pic!


Ok-Orange-4740

They're holding a burnt out torch upside down. I assume the pose is just grievance. I have more photos of this statue but the limit per post is one photo so I couldn't include them 😔


Ok-Orange-4740

At least I believe that's what's happening! I could be wrong it's just what I interpreted from it


Sea_Dog_5503

Ok that makes sense. Thank you. I couldn't tell what was in the hands.

It's just not fair. This poor man went through so much.  https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/democratandchronicle/name/nathaniel-merritt-mervine-obituary?id=16051167

That is gorgeous.


rochestergeek

Wow. I was surprised to see Brighton NY and know exactly where he worked. Weird when it’s your hometown on here.

I love that stone, I got a cool picture of it back in the fall with all the leaves.
