We invite you to take a look at several unusual graves that can be seen in cemeteries in different countries world:
The graves of a Catholic woman and her Protestant husband, who were not allowed to be buried together. J.W.C. van Gorcum, colonel of the Dutch cavalry and commissioner of militia in Limburg, is buried in the Protestant part of this cemetery. His wife, Lady J.C.P.H van Aefferden, is buried in the Catholic part. They married in 1842, when she was 22 and the colonel 33, but he was a Protestant and not a member of the nobility.
Their marriage caused a lot of gossip in Roermond. Having been married for 38 years, the colonel died in 1880 and was buried in the Protestant part of the cemetery near the wall. His wife died in 1888 and wished to be buried not in the family tomb, but on the other side of the wall, which was the closest place to her husband's grave. Two hands in a handshake connect the graves across the wall.
Recoleta Cemetery is best known for being the burial place of Maria Eva Duarte de Peron or Evita, but in fact many famous military leaders, presidents, scientists, poets and other important people are buried there or rich Argentines.
David Alleno was an Italian immigrant who dreamed of being buried in this prestigious cemetery, where he worked as a caretaker from 1881 to 1910. He saved enough money to buy himself a place and built his own tomb. He even went back to his homeland to find an artist who could carve his figure out of marble, complete with keys, broom and watering can. Legend has it that after the tomb was finished, David committed suicide on his grave, but many authorities say he died several years after the tomb was built.
This tombstone is also located in the Recoleta Cemetery in Argentina. But what is unusual about it? Well, let's start with the fact that a man sitting on a sofa is seriously looking at the horizon, and a woman's bust is standing behind him, but they are looking in opposite directions. They are positioned this way because he died first, so the family made his mausoleum. A few years later, when his wife died, in her will she asked that her image be placed in such a way that it represented their marriage: they spent the last 30 years of marriage without saying a word to each other.
Fernand Arbelot was a musician and actor who died in 1990 and is buried in the Pere Lachaise cemetery. He wished to look at his wife's face forever.
This unique monument represents little boy who jumps out of his wheelchair. Chained to wheelchair spending most of his short life, he was finally freed from earthly burdens.
The headstones are arranged around a tree, which has grown noticeably since part of St Pancras cemetery was cleared in 1860 to make way for railway between London and Midland. The young architect supervising the work was Thomas Hardy, a famous author.
The Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris is probably the most visited cemetery in the world, and it is famous not only for the beauty of its monuments, but also for the celebrities buried there. However, one of the most dramatic graves belongs to an author most people have never heard of.
Georges Rodenbach was a 19th-century Belgian writer, best known for books that were largely intended as serious literature for students. Dead Bruges (Bruges-la-Morte), a symbolic novel published in 1892, was about a man grieving for his deceased wife. Therefore, it is excruciatingly painful to look at Rodenbach’s grave, the tombstone of which represents himself, rising from the grave with a rose in his hand.
When Jonathan Reed's wife, Mary, died in 1893, the widower was inconsolable and did not want to leave the grave. Moreover, he was so devoted to her that he moved to live on her grave, where he lived (with a parrot) for 10 years. Reed died in 1905 and was buried with Mary.
The most famous landmark in Hiawatha, Kansas, is the 1930s tomb located in Mount Hope Cemetery, near the southeastern outskirts of the city. John Milburn Davis arrived in Hiawatha in 1879 at the age of 24. After some time, he married Sarah Hart, the daughter of his employer. The Davises opened their own farm, which prospered, and were married for 50 years. When Sarah died in 1930, the Davises were already wealthy. Over the next seven years, John Davis spent much of the family fortune to build a monument to mark Sarah's grave.
The amount spent on the Davis Memorial is estimated at approximately $100,000, but the actual total is several times that amount. In any case, it was a huge sum, the collection of which required mortgaging the entire household and mansion. This was during the great depression, when people could not make ends meet.
Reasons that could explain the extravagance of such an act include great love, guilt, anger at Sarah's family, and a desire for the Davis fortune to be exhausted before John's death.
The Davis memorial grew piece by piece, which is quite sad. If it had been built according to a pre-made plan, then perhaps it would have been larger and more beautiful. The memorial site was originally a simple headstone, but John worked with Horace England, a monument dealer in Hiawatha, to make the monument more and more elaborate. The memorial includes 11 life-size statues of John and Sarah Davis made from Italian marble, stone urns and a marble dome rumored to weigh more than 50 tons.
Jack Crowell owned the last wooden clothespin factory in the United States. He originally wanted a real spring installed in the clothespin so children could play with it. He is buried in Middlesex, Vermont.

Some tourists even ask whether the carpet gets wet in the rain and how often it is changed, the tombstone turned out to be so realistic.
