  1. Of course I also stopped at the Haserot family plot to say hi to 'The Angel of Death Victorious' (sometimes called the weeping angel or Haserot angel), one of the cemetary's more famous statues.

    Besides the beautiful metalwork, its known for the weathering which caused the streaks down its face.

    I've always loved this statue and it's cool to see more people learning about it and leaving little trinkets and offerings.

  4. Begging for My Mother: Find A Grave and the Strangers Who Collect Our Dead

    This morning I signed into Find A Grave to update my mother's memorial and discovered that I no longer manage her page. No email warned me. Nothing in my account records the change. Six family memorials, five of them sponsored with my own money in the weeks after my mother died, and my name has been stripped from every one.
