Cloth

Cloth

A very deteriorated cloth or wrapping still clings to this casket; the memorial plaque and crown remain up top.

That was depressing. What I would like to think is someone cared enough to drape what was an exquisitely ornate cloth.

No matter how depressing it may sound, no matter how you try to spin it...I have to agree with Sian...You can't take it with you, etc., etc...
What a pic THERE, Motts!!!

Really does bring sadness to see some thing that was meant to bring prestige even in death so deteriorated and forgotten. So I gotta agree with Tony and Sian, eventually your not even a memory anymore- ah how sad.

No, it looked as if no one had been inside for many years, and the exterior was very unkempt.

So sad. So Loved. My feelings are that is to keep the person warm in the winter. My mother (when she was alive) always put a grave blanket on my fathers grave. It was made of evergreens and flowers ect. The purpose was warmth. That,s the feeling I get from this photo.

When my husband died in 2001, he had this gold watch, worth lots money, and his sisters wanted the watch to be buried with him, and I agreed, and then when the coffin was closed and we all went home before the funeral, I am sure one of the funeral attendants may have got that watch. Many times I wish I had defied my inlaws and kept that watch for memory.

That be old cloth.

My oldest brother (well,actually,both brothers)and I both like cemeteries.IT's like the time we were standing in Greenmount (my favorite;I want to be intered there;better start preparing) and I made the obvious remark "Why do people go to these great lengths?" His reply : " Well, no one WANTS to be forgotten"
Just a thought.......................................

Almost looks like the cloth is going to start crawling at any moment & try to reassemble itself - Creepy with a capital C
