Rest In Peace
I short while ago I posted a photograph I took in the Kalgoorlie Cemetery of the grave of a baby where the memorial on the grave was the actual babies cot. This photo, also in the Kalgoorlie Cemetery, is on a single plot where the same symbolism has been used but this ‘bed’ has been made by someone. The idea of using a bed is a common one in cemeteries as it represents ‘Only Sleeping’ or ‘Resting in Peace”.
