Saint Mary’s Cemetery, Washington DC
August 31, 2024
Across the street from Glenwood Cemetery is a small resting place that is even more impressive: Saint Mary’s Cemetery. This small burial ground is home to some truly beautiful funerary sculpture. I am glad I decided to make a 3-point turn across both lanes to see it.
This was the one I went batty over. Yes, some pretty cloak-draped ladies but look closer…
A massive beehive sits upon them like a bouquet
Immediate obsession! They even look a bit concerned about it
I will return as I left quickly. It’s a small space and there was someone visiting a departed loved one. And I felt intrusive.
Oh how time erodes us!
