I think it doesn't get more French than this one, with the baret, the moustache, the scarf, :-)

As you can see, the cemetery is next to some high, modern office buildings, providing a strange contrast to the older statues.

For certain an ambitious man who was buried there.

This one in particular expresses grief in a very gentle, touching way.

Early morning @ Cimetière du Montparnasse.

This grave monument struck me as ... peculiar. Who would want to be portrayed like this, as a tied-up grumpy old man... ?

I have a fondness for cemetries. This one we happened upon by accident while searching for the famous villa quarter (Ville d'hiver) in Arcachon.

This statue struck me as bizarre: who would want to be portrayed with such a quizzical look on their face?

The inscription (actually more an "onscription", I would say) starts with the word "sepultura" which is Latin for grave, which I happen to know because I used to have an ex-libris with the heavy-handed motto "Otium sine literis mors est et homini vivi sepultura" (leisure time without literature is the death and the grave of the living man)

It's been a while since I visited St. Barbara cemetery in Utrecht. This is definitely my favorite tomb ornament. This time it had a lovely backdrop because of the autumny setting.

PS: Be sure to at least check out my favorites and please do leave a comment for posterity while you're at it! Thanks!
