In 1831 Mount Auburn Cemetery was established in Massachusetts. Part cemetery, part park, people cameG to Mount Auburn to sit and picnic among its peaceful rolling landscape. Artistic symbolism has evolved over time depicting how people lived there lives and how loved ones felt about them. Cemeteries are filled with symbolism, but some of my favorite statuary are angels.
In Houston there is a cemetery that has an incredible abundance of angels watching over the beloved inhabitants resting below. Glenwood is tucked away off the bustling Washington Avenue. Stop just inside the main gate for a map of some of Glenwood's famous residents like the illusive Howard Hughes.
