Rust and Rememberance
Brooklyn, NY - CartLegger - Tuesday, June 19th, 2007 : goo

In Brooklyn's cemetery belt, you'll find acres of marble.
But not here, at its Bushwick end.
Most Holy Trinity Cemetery was designed for the use of Tin grave markers.
Apparently, the ground was too soft to handle the weight of marble and granite.
There are some simple wood alternative tombstones, too.
I don't know if this situation is unique, but it is haunting.
See it for yourself:
