40 Times Gravestones Were So Uniquely Amazing That People Had To Share Them Online
Interview With Expert
Death is an unavoidable part of our life cycle, and whether we like it or not, it catches up with all of us. Saying that one final goodbye to someone close to you is never an easy burden, but people have always found ways to make it just a bit better.
There is a lot of beauty in that. For example, if you were to take a walk through a cemetery and observe all that's around, you'd probably notice some very unique ways in which people choose to honor their loved ones. But of course, you can also do that without leaving your home because there's a subreddit just for this purpose. Scroll down to see the best pictures posted there!

Cemeteries have quite a unique feel compared to most other places we visit. After all, their purpose is to be the final resting place for those who have passed away, so they often offer a calm shelter from an otherwise chaotic world.
This subreddit, CemeteryP***, is exactly the kind of place where people who appreciate this calmness and the sights it brings meet. The group has over 143,000 members, yet there are only two rules: asking members to include context with their submissions and upload their sightings in static images.
Everything else, just like in the rest of the Safe For Work P*** Network on Reddit, flows smoothly without the need for any strict guidance, so if you go there looking for drama, you're probably in the wrong place.

My Grandma from my Dad's side had " Beloved Wife, Mother and Grandmother " and Mom almost died laughing the first time she saw her headstone. She was Mom's MIL and treated her as well my Dad, her own damned Son, like worse then dogshit. Mom and I used to refer to her as: The Wicked Witch of the South, for a really good reason. Mom told me that the only reason she went to the funeral was to make sure the Old Hag was really dead and staying that way. Because if anyone could pull a Lazarus it would be her just to be spiteful and torture everybody. As we walked into the house coming back from the funeral we sang " Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead". I had the most awesome Mom you could ever want or ask for. 😂😂

My pup’s ashes got turned into several beautiful glass pendants for each of us family members 😊. I had my grandma’s ashes done like that as well and the glassmaker made a barely-noticeable mistake on one pendant so she made another and sent me both - I keep one in the kitchen on a tiny memorial wall art piece so my Baba (who taught me to cook) can cook with me, and one dangling off the rearview mirror in my car because it’s actually her car that I inherited when she passed away last year. So she drives with me in her car and keeps me safe and I can squeeze the pendant every morning and say “good morning Baba!” Surprisingly affordable for a memorial piece, I paid maybe $150 CAD and just spread the rest of her ashes in her favourite spot. Cheaper than a grave and headstone but still a meaningful memorial ❤️

The views in these cemeteries are definitely fascinating, but the color tone is usually still quite a bit more gloomy for those who are affected by the losses personally. And yet, death is actually a very interesting subject with many different views on it.
To discuss this aforementioned subject, Bored Panda reached out to Hanan Parvez, a psychologist with a deep passion for better understanding the human mind and sharing that knowledge with the rest of us.

I think many of have heard of the heartbreaking numbers of missing women/girls, but not everyone knows how this scourge has especially affected Native American women. In the US, 2.9 % of the population are Native Americans, while indigenous women make up 11 % of the cases of *missing* women, and 16 % of female *homicide* victims are indigenous. In Canada, indigenous women are up to 400 % (!) more likely to go missing than other Canadians, and between the years 2000-2015, the homicide rate among indigenous women was almost six times higher than among other Canadian women. 4 % of Canadian women are indigenous, while, in 2018, 37 % (!) of female homicide victims were. It’s absolutely horrifying, and police racism and apathy is believed to be one contributing factor.
Load More Replies...We began by delving into the question of why death, especially of those close to us, can be so hard to accept, to which the expert answered by explaining that our success in life is often determined by our family ties. "Our dependence on close family is highest when we're young and decreases with age, but it never completely disappears."
Hanan further compared losing a loved one to losing a part of yourself, which is as impactful at the genetic level as it is at the identity level. "It's like losing a body part. You know you can't get it back, but the pain is extreme."
Still, people do get over it. It is a natural part of life, and it's safe to say that everyone is aware of this, at least to some extent. "However, the grieving process is essential because you want to acknowledge the relationship you had with the deceased person," added the psychologist, explaining that this process is more about being grateful for the person who was in your life rather than wishing they hadn't passed away.

There's a grave in Spain with a heartbreaking story. Beginning of the twentieth century, a very young couple couldn't afford to get married and the priest wouldn't do it for free. They lived together and had children. She died very suddenly and the priest refused to bury her in the cemetery, as she was a sinner (!). Overnight, her neighbours built a mini cemetery for her in the forest, where she still gets visitors.

Load More Replies...Unique gravestones like the one we see in these pictures can help people cope with loss and better remember those they have lost. Creating a headstone that's different from the rest makes it stand out and, in a way, gives it a personality that reminds people of the person it's meant for.
But at the same time, the decision to have something unique might have been the wish of the deceased themselves, as a lot of people tend to be very particular about these details. "So, if you see a unique shade of grey on a gravestone, it could just be that the person buried there liked that color. It's about how the deceased wants others to see them after death," said Hanan, joking that the human need for looking good extends beyond our lives.

Getting over a loss like that is not easy. However, rituals like prayers and visiting the grave to talk to that person can help reassure people that the deceased is now someplace better, which often plays a big role in helping them reach the acceptance stage of grieving.
And yet, in many cases, it seems that people find it easier to let go of someone who has passed away than get over a breakup. "It's because once a person dies, there's no hope of getting them back. In contrast, one could always get back with their ex," explained Hanan, summarizing that most people eventually find ways to recover from a loss without too much difficulty.

As the mother of a child with multiple special needs, I have always been so ambivalent about this idea. I love my son with every fiber of my being. There are days when things are so difficult and I wish he didn't have the issues he does. But those very issues are a part of who my son is. To not have them would mean not having him be him. I do believe in an afterlife and have contemplated if the idea of my son being "cured" is worth the change to his identity. I don't know the answer; it's probably different for every person.

If I figured it up right, he should only be about 2 and half years old. So sad. Just a toddler.
So, in the end, there is a lot of uniqueness and beauty, not only in life but also in death. There is a lot we cannot change or predict, and while it may not make us happy, loss is something that all of us have to deal with regardless. But instead of being sad about it, it's better to appreciate what we have while we have it. And when it's gone, take solace in whatever it leaves behind, be it nice memories, captivating stories, or unique gravestones.

Thanks to Lakota sharing a news story, I learned that this was a 5 year old named Bryce who was hit by a car, right in front of his house, by a 16 year old driver. It appears that there was a large trailer obstructing the drivers view and the 16 year old wasn't charged, but the poor guilt this kid is dealing with. The story also mentioned that the 5 year old was riding a motorized scooter that goes up to 15 mph and is made for ages 12 and up. So sad for all involved.

Huh, I'd wonder if the experience made her more susceptible to illness somehow--a lot of the survivors had hypothermia by the time they were rescued--but I looked her up, and it's weirder than that. She was hit by a car--probably; the authorities at the time also looked into the possibility that she was attacked--and died of her injuries. The eerie part is that she died on the second anniversary of the Titanic disaster (with her car accident, assuming that's what it was, happening the previous day). https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/news/local/2014/04/13/local-history-titanic-survivor-died/10606258007/

Death - is a very large topic. I understand the fear of it- all our lives, as we wend our paths- every fiber of us tells us to avoid dying. Sure. But we also know that 100% of all life eventually ends; it always has. Life IS sacred. So is death - there could be no life without it, you know.

Some subreddits have that word in them (eg. r/foodporn) because it’s supposed be meaning that the thing it’s about is interesting (eg. on r/foodporn, people post pictures of the food that they made/got that looks cool/nice). It’s not nsfw, they just used the word

More like this! I wander cemeteries often as I find it peaceful, but I have the one in my small town memorized. Graves interest me. Yes I'm weird.

My siste be r died in Spain during Covid, from breast cancer. She was cremated and her ashes brought home to Ireland to inter with our grandparents, who died before I was born. We had a lovely service, and went to the cemetery for the interment. We were standing linked arms, my mum, brother in law, brothers and I, and my Mum said, "that's the wrong grave, isn't there ". We looked and sure enough the headstone

The headstone was in a grave in the next row. We had to have a redo for the interment, as it was found the headstone was placed on the wrong grave!

I personally don't care what happens to my corpse after I die (yeet me out of a cannon for all I care, I'm dead!) but I have told my bf and family that THEY need to do whatever they need to do with my body after I die. If they want to bury me conventionally and have a gravesite they can visit - go for it. If they want to cremate me so they can keep the ashes with them - go for it. Make jewelry out of me? Go for it! Give my body to one of those forensic training corpse farm places? Go for it! XD The only thing I have requested is that they donate whatever organs of mine that are still functional/donatable. (I have the donor sticker on my license, but just in case.)

I want all my organs to be given to my family for them to sell, the bone marrow to taken out and sold on the blackmarket and whatever remains sell what you can. What you can't throw it into the woods for fungi and other plants to grow on

It's even worse when there are only small crosses in a row. I always stop when I'm visiting relatives at the cemetery so they don't get lonely.

I saw a lovely headstone years ago of a man who passed away in the 1980s. His headstone had a 1980's pickup with a camper shell on the back on one side, and a man fishing from a small boat on the other side. I wish I had something I could enjoy that much.
