Description

Love is carved into every stone in Elmwood Cemetery, represented by intriguing, sometimes otherworldly symbols. During this indoor, seated presentation at Elmwood Cemetery, we will explore the meaning of the symbols in the stonework, from flowers to ferns, lambs, doves, trees, scrolls, obelisks, statues, arches, and more. Join us on Sunday, February 12th, at 2 pm, for "Love on the Rocks," hosted by Elmwood's Executive Director Kim Bearden. We'll serve a sweet treat for you to enjoy while you learn how to decode the meaning in some of the storied stones in the cemetery. The cost is $20.
