Cemetery Faces

While waiting for a friend to get his prescription filled in Fishkill, I wandered across the street to the Dutch Reformed Church cemetery.  The church is one of the oldest in the county, dating from the 1770s; the cemetery gravestones are in remarkably good condition, and some of the inscriptions are in Dutch.  I found a book that lists all the inscriptions, if you're interested:  http://archive.org/stream/cu31924025961107#page/n5/mode/2up.  Anyways, I was totally intrigued by the angel faces on the tombstones.

Isn't she cute? In Dutch.  And what's with the 6 triangles on the head?  A crown? A tiara?

Love the curls and the jowls.

She has a nice hairdo also.

This one's much grimmer.

Another Dutch gravestone, with chubby cheeks.

This way to heaven.
