Cemetery Curtains

I suppose there's a reason the materials used in monuments tend to be metal and stone. They deteriorate at relatively slow rate. So when I saw this door's curtain from afar, instinct told me it was a stone carving of drapery. But it is, in fact, textile. A very unexpected twist.

That said, if it were going to happen anywhere, it'd be Woodlawn. The folks who built these mausoleums had the means not simply to build them but to endow their maintenance for centuries to come. So I'm sure that, every decade or so, this drapery gets a refresh.
