Cemetery pics – Cracked, chipped and buried markers. Clicking on the image will make ’em bigger when possible.

ant attack! ant attack!
A high price of being buried in South Florida… many many ants.

I wonder if they got into the box?

ants ants
This marker was covered in ant-sand too.
ants! ants!
so, I cleaned it off, a little.
Hidden Marker, #2 Hidden Marker, #2
I found this one almost totally covered with sand. only the very clean white area on the lower right was showing, near another marker.

I love the typoed reversed S in rest.

Handwritten Marker Handwritten Marker
I’m not sure if this is a replacement for a lost marker, or if the person buried was too poor to afford any other kind.
crack - 1 crack – 1
some of the markers have been weathered or broken pretty badly.
crack - 2 crack – 2
this was originally a standing stone, but is now laying atop the site.
crack - 3 crack – 3
I wonder what causes most of these to break? no freezing this far south.

Skipper.

It’s somehow worse when it’s a child.

chipped chipped
100 years from now, they’ll probably have no idea what the date of death was.
broken plate broken plate
the ID plaque is almost completely off. I wonder if it’ll be there, next time I visit?
broken headstone broken headstone
No information on this stone at all.
twin cracks twin cracks
a mother and father stone, both cracked in the middle, laying where they once stood.
slid slid
looks like someone leaned too hard on this one, and it slid to the right.
mess mess
I have no idea what happened here. High wind? Desecration?
rising rising
erosion of the soil is letting these markers sit freely atop the ground, rather than being planted.
