At Lake View Cemetery, exedra and exedra-inspired monuments are extremely popular down by the pond behind Wade Chapel. The families of the deceased seem to invite passersby to sit and enjoy the beauty of the pond while taking in the silent stillness and time for contemplation that the cemetery offers.
These two stones combine to create a memorial for June Louise. You can see the pond and fountain in the background.
The Kulle-Goden monument is nearby.
The Westerman-Chapman exedra is wavy, like the ripples of a pond.
The Killens’ bench sits on the opposite side of the path but also allows views of the pond.
