Regrets is an interesting thing to have written on a tombstone.
Did they regret what they did do in life, or what they didn't do?

Maybe both. Regrets, though... to have that written on your grave means something very sad in any light. It just perpetuates the memory of something left undone or something done needlessly, it defines the owner of the grave in death.

As for the photograph itself, the colours are subtle and beautiful, the lighting is soft and allows for the loneliness to really be felt. Very emotional piece.

The first thing I took note of besides the colors are the word REGRET and the date, being 1905... that's over 100 years old. Amazing.

1st time I've seen that on a tombstone-and I've seen a few.

When I was about 22 I wrote my own epitaph(which I don't think I'll use) anyway it did end with: " I have no regrets "

I don't think it's "provided with the help of the church", but more likely "[deceased] with the comforts of religion" ie, she passed away believing in Christ and the afterlife.
Also, I'd say the "regrets" means that the people who interred her regret her passing, that is, "you will be missed".

still......i hope no one chooses to write "regrets" on my headstone, tomb, urn, obit, whatever. I like "i'm good now" - Bob Schneider :)

I don't cry at anything, but this touched something in my heart. To not feel sad about this, you have no heart.
