I finished scanning my cemetery bookshelf using the app Codex. And just in time for my newest arrival.
I found a used copy of this book on Amazon.com. Sometimes you can find really nice copies for half the original cost. It is a beautiful book.
I made a quick visit to Elmwood Cemetery while in the area for an event. I'm looking forward to matching the information with some of my photos.

Hands Clasped Stone
I was surprised to find only this small stone marking a grave at the Sterling Community Cemetery in my neighboring county.
Fortunately, this cemetery has good records so I could always find out who rests here on another visit.
Hands Together Symbolism [1]
Matrimony when sleeves reflect a feminine and masculine look.
When gender neutral it can be heavenly welcome or earthly farewell.
