In honor of Valentine’s Day, I set myself on a scavenger hunt. I wanted to see how many hearts I could find in cemeteries. I found so many that I’ve split the results of my hunt into 4 different posts between now and Valentine’s Day. The most common thing that I found was simple, single heart-shaped tombstones.
I found heart-shaped tombstones in Harvard Grove Cemetery in Cleveland, Ohio.
This tombstone at Union Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio, is heart-shaped.
I was able to find two heart tombstones from my small collection of photos from Markillie and St. Mary’s Cemeteries in Hudson..
This lichen-covered heart tombstone is in Kirtland Historic North Cemetery.
East Cleveland Township Cemetery has a number of these tombstones.
Hearts may not be the first thing you think about when you hear the word cemetery, but they are certainly there.
