Floral Tributes

If you could afford it, there were some imposing floral tributes available. On this Lancashire grave, two glass covered tributes have been place - the larger being particularly impressive. The headstone records the grave as being the last resting place of John Henry Law, the husband of Alice Ann Law of 12 Melrose Terrace, Weir Lane, Bacup.  He died on March 29, 1913 aged 39. The 1901 Census records him as a Calico Print machinist and his father as a Cotton Loom Overlooker.

Book of Commemoration

In Lansdown Cemetery, a giant book made from black granite provides an impressive and unusual memorial for Henry Adkins (1853-1930) and his wife Marie Louise (Poulin). She was born in Bordeaux and he in Birmingham.
