Here are several more pics from my headstone photograph collection. I find these porcelain photographs fascinating. The man and women in the last two photographs are husband and wife, their photographs are together on the same headstone.
Thank you for looking.
Looks like you have been busy pack ! I have never seen any of these in our old cemeteries but have seen photo's on more recent headstones . These porcelain
one's are in such beautiful condition . Always glad to see your posts and you :-)
How interesting! I have never heard of anyone doing this before
.Do you do this in just your home state or when you travel.I don't know he process of making a porcelain photo. Are these still made today for the deceased?
Thanks for showing these.
Thank you very much brunswick, Manikin & PostCardCollector. I do this when I travel, but mostly in Texas. I belong to a Facebook group "Texas Historic Cemeteries", and post a lot there. I also am a member and contribute to "Find A Grave." http://www.findagrave.com/
I have some very interesting photographs of "Ghost Town" cemeteries in Arizona and New Mexico. The towns have disappeared, but the cemeteries remain, desolate and forgotten.
Yes, they still make them today.
Thank you very much Caperkid & officialfuel...............

Another interesting post! I've never seen these up here in Manitoba & Saskatchewan visiting cemeteries as an amateur genealogist. I want to thank you for your contributions to findagrave, as this work is invaluable to family research.
