Things I Wouldn’t Want on My Tombstone
Budapest, Hungary
2011

I like touring old cemeteries to view the statuary and reflect on the history they represent. The Kerepesi Cemetery in Budapest was one of the most unusual cemeteries I’ve been to in the sense that it contains some really unusual tombstones. The title of this image is really theoretical in my case since I’m headed to the crematorium when I go. But really, I don’t see how statues like this could be comforting to anyone at a time of mourning. Of course I suppose comfort probably wasn’t the point.
