Eccentric Epitaphs

By Michelle Lovric

Subjects: Epitaphs

Description: A collection of bizarre, comical and appalling epitaphs: the *dernier cri* in black humor. Anyone who visits a churchyard will be drawn to read mossy inscriptions carved into the ancient tombstones. Epitaphs have always given food for reflection: they serve not merely to record the death of an individual but to remind us all of our ultimate fate.
