Strange Graves

Very Unusual Tombstones

Have you ever thought about how you might want to be remembered after you die, or what is going to mark your grave? Maybe you want a small wooden cross with some bio-degradable flowers, or perhaps something that glows in the dark, or maybe you dream of a life-sized statue that plays tunes!

We particularly like the video tombstone—we’re thinking we would like to have re-runs of Buffy the Vampire Slayer play on ours.
