Storytelling gravestones #11
Grandview Cemetery, Montrose CO.
Although I do not consider myself any kind of authority on cemeteries or gravestones/headstones and the traditions incorporated into their design, I have noticed that in the region surrounding Montrose, Colorado it is somewhat customary to record an abbreviated version of the deceased's biography on the stone itself.
A photograph is reproduced on this stone. A mountain scene is underscored by a list of things that described this man: "loving husband, father and grandfather, sculpter, hunter, fisherman, firefighter, loved the lord, best friend a son ever had".
