Some of the markers were made of stone, while the more recent headstones were metal.

METAL? They couldn't even get fucking stainless steel? I say that assuming those marks are marks from being weathered. Whats the point of using metal grave markers if they just weather like stone does?

High quality stainless steel is expensive, but I'm betting that it's cheaper than marble or granite. But even stainless steel will corrode given time and the elements. In this picture though, it really looks like the marker is made of stone. It's so sad to see a cemetery that neglected.

Here's an alternat POV, inspired by someone close to me; we can't hold onto dead people forever.

I love how the trees appear to be standing a silent guard over the inhabitants of the cemetery.
It's like the world has forgotten these people, and reduced who they are to a mere number, but the trees have stood by as silent caretakers for these lost souls.
