Taphophile Tragics

In contrast to the not se well maintained grave of Marc Chagall of last week post, the other graves in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, cemetery in France were covered with all kind of flowers, stained ones and fresh ones.





I think their relatives still live close to the cemetery to keep the flowers fresh.

This is my tribute to Taphophile Tragics

  1. The presentation of these graves suggests that someone has taken great care to arrange these flowers very carefully! Even certain colours! Most attractive!

  6. having fresh flowers - and potted flowering plants - gives the grave a certain lively spirit, I think. I like all the plaques, too - does this mean that several bodies are within the same grave, I wonder?

  7. I wish that there were some kind souls to maintain Chagall's gravesite as lovely as these are.

  8. How nice to see a cemetery that has been well-maintained. In addition to the live flowers and tidy appearance, the porcelain flowers look almost new with not even a chip.

  10. I find that plots in France all have ceramic messages from relatives, like Cousin X, and Brother-in-Law Y. I have not seen this so overwhelmingly at cemeteries in either the UK or here in Australia.

    I do adore the fact that the French cherish live flowers on the tombs. Either in built up plots or in terracotta pots. Either way, they are a delight to see.
