VICTORIANA LADY

BEAUTY IN MOURNING

I am a Taphophile.
Taphophilia includes gravestone rubbings, cemetery photography,
art, epitaphs and the history of famous deaths.

I could spend hours, and usually do, walking through old cemeteries
in search of beautiful artwork on gravestones.

Some people stop for yard sales while driving.
I want to stop at every old cemetery!

 Perhaps being an art major has something to do with my fascination 
with granite carvings.

Here is a collection of  sculpture in granite  from local turn of the century cemeteries.


For those interested in Gothic & Victorian Mourning rituals, dress, strange causes of death, stories of premature burial and more, you can book me for a Victorian Mourning Program.

Great for Halloween parties or Gothic parties all year round!
