Unique Headstones & Monuments

I’ve done a lot of searching on the internet for unique headstones. I found it frustrating how few of these sites actually told you who was buried there and where the cemetery was located. So I decided to create a gallery of these unique headstones and monuments with the name of the person and the location of the cemetery. I personally haven’t visited these places but I am making a list of the places that look interesting enough to visit. If I do visit the location I will replace the image with my own. I will be adding new photos regularly so check back in and see if there is an interesting cemetery near you!

The Eklutna Cemetery was established in 1650 and is located 24 miles northeast of Anchorage adjacent to the 19th century Church of St. Nicholas.

Russian Orthodox missionaries arrived in the 1840′s. Natives were converted to the Russian Orthodox faith. Part of the conversion was the practice of housing the dead in “Spirit Houses”.

Over 100 “Spirit Houses” occupy the cemetery. The size of the house depicts the social status of the person buried there.

Clan affiliations are identified by color and style of the crest. This cemetery is still in use.
