Blank head stone or tombstone fun for Halloween or anytime. Make a graveyard of epitaphs. Use the headstone or gravestone for students to write a character epitaph or summary of a book where a main character dies. Students can focus on character traits and what makes a character memorable. Many ways to use these: Students have fun writing their own epitaphs in poetry form. A perfect way to display Halloween limericks. Students bury dead words and verbs and have Funeral Activities, or they bury negative feelings or bad memories and do a writing activity. It can be used with the Diary of Anne Frank, or The Cay by Theodore Taylor. Goes well with The Graveyard Book, Where the Red Fern Grows and Maniac Magee. Make a graveyard for dead verbs or words! Great for history lessons too. Makes a great bulletin board display of a cemetery for banned classroom words! Fun way to be creative. You get 3 different images on PowerPoint slides, which you can project on a whiteboard or upload to Google Slides.

Eva, 2nd Presbyterian, Charleston, S.C. They left the side gate to the cemetery open at 2nd Presbyterian for the Gospel Choir members to practice and I slipped in along with them yesterday morning in between the rains. I made my rounds visiting the lost children, Eva, Jane and simply "Our First Born". These little tombstones are heart breakers every time but I wished I had a blanket for the Eva statue. She looked so cold and alone.

Peter Pauper Press has produced more than 650 editions of prose, poetry, and pocket-sized cookbooks over the course of 85 years. The press originally began in 1928, when Peter Beilenson set up a small print shop in his father's basement in Larchmont, New York. By the age of 22 Beilenson had already studied with printer William Edwin Rudge and book and type designer Frederic Goudy. He later wrote a biography of Goudy, which was published by Peter Pauper Press for the Typophiles chapbook series in 1965. Peter's wife Edna Beilenson became his business partner early on and they continued to publish 10 to 12 fine press books a year until his death in 1962 at the age of 56. Edna Beilenson ably managed the business until the late 1970s. After her death in 1981, the third generation of the Beilenson family stepped up to manage the business, which continues in operation today. For many decades, the Peter Pauper books have been some of the most affordable among fine press publishers. The books were sold at "prices even a pauper could afford," according to Beilenson's son Nick. Even today, used copies of more recent issues can often be found for $3 or $4 each. Earlier oversized editions with slip covers, demand higher prices, depending upon the subject matter, illustrator and condition of course. The one and two-color letterpress editions have often included beautiful illustrations by some of the 20th century's most notable artitsts including, Lynd Ward, Fritz Eichenberg, Richard Floethe, and one of my favorite's, Joseph Low (1911-2007), who illustrated this edition of The Devil's Dictionary, first published in 1958. Another PPP book in a Halloween theme, is the Comic Epitaph From the Very Best Old Graveyards, first published in 1957. The cheery illustrations are done by Henry R. Martin who was a prolific illustrator and cartoonist for the New Yorker, Ladies Home Journal, Saturday Evening Post and many other Peter Pauper books.

This man was a car fanatic, he died last year and his family wanted to mark his passing with a memorable monument. They decided on a headstone in the shape of his favourite BMW M3 convertible. Weighing one ton, the BMW sculpture had to be lowered on to the grave by crane in an operation involving 20 people. It cost around £50,000. Following the recent article in the paper we went to Manor Park cemetery in London to see it and here are the photos. All images © J Trend-Hill.
BEST VIEWED LARGE! Anytime i go into Edinburgh with my camera, i'm always drawn to the old graveyards and their macabre headstones. I lose myself for hours wandering around reading the inscriptions and imagining the lives of the people below me. I've photographed this particular one many times and i love the old carvings on it and that it has been here in this spot for over 350 years. I wonder at the tragic story this stone tells of two sons lost in the same year. The inscription reads:- Captain John Gray ordered this stone to be erected to the memory of his parents ELISABETH WILKINS who died Feb 3rd 1747 aged ? and THOMAS GRAY Wright in the Pleasants who died May 3rd 1732 aged ? whose bodies lie here interred also MICHAEL SWAN who died in 1746 aged 6months and JOHN SWAN who died in 1746 aged 9 years both sons to James Swan
