MrCanary Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Mods - not sure if this piccie is acceptable on here, please remove this thread if it offends.Having just had a wonderful weekend in Paris, I felt I had to report back and tell whoever suggested it, that the visit to a Paris cemetery was really interesting - if a little weird.I have assumed from what I read and was told, that the couple buried here posed for their masterpiece of a gravestone to ensure relatives were always able to visit them after their departures...

Frenchie Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I liked that pic, in my opinion it is not offending at all , and quite cute.. A couple in their bed for eternity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanary Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 I feel similar Frenchie, I was just concerned that some folk on here might think I was being disrespectful when, in fact, it is as you describe. I would imagine that any relatives visiting the grave would smile whenever they go there.I bet it cost a fortune to make though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I liked it too, makes it seem more believable that those people were once alive just like we are now.Much better than a boring cross or ugly angel statue which I hate even more after Dr.Who.

Hoddy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It's a bit unhygienic to go to bed in their day clothes, don't you think ?Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
