The culmination of my four-day heart scavenger hunt is here, and for Valentine’s Day itself, I decided to post the hearts that seem to specifically be in the cemetery as a reference to romantic love.
Joseph Kahsky and his wife Rose Kahsky have a heart-shaped tombstone in Chester Township Cemetery.

The pink granite tombstones for the Wrights in Willoughby Village Cemetery have hearts, flowers, and love messages engraved on them.


The Birnbaums have a stone at Lake View Cemetery under a double-heart tombstone. (I’m not sure if Mrs. Birnbaum is there yet.) Like my grandparents, their wedding anniversary was Valentine’s Day. I particularly like the etched “Forever Valentines.”
