Two in the Bush

Birds symbolize the flight of the soul, and trees are fragile, like human life.

This message is elegantly conveyed on the gravestone of Pamelia Munro, who flew this life September 20, 1770. She rests in the Old Burial Ground, Lexington, Massachusetts.

One of the many amazing colonial castings we have in the Newburyport shop by the Gravestone Girls of Worcester MA. Colonial stone carvers were true folk artists, and we are blessed to live an area where we can immerse ourselves in the artistry of their work. Importantly, these casting are hand-formed and finished, and no stones are ever impacted by the creation methods. The Gravestone Girls are deeply committed to preservation - and can often be found speaking to groups about cemetery conversation throughout the region.

This one has been an onsite favorite and wanted to showcase for our online customers.

Given the hand-made nature of the process - each casting may have some variation in color and tone.
