Rock of Ages Memorial Factory

Today the memorials are created using computerized sandblasting machines. We stopped at the nearby Mount Hope Cemetery also known as the “Stone Cutters’ Cemetery” to view some of the extraordinary work of past Stone Cutters. There’s memorials shaped like race cars, biplanes, and a relining chair. I was amazed by the hand made carvings from bygone eras, but taking pictures just didn’t seem right.
