The Mercedes Grave

Owning a 1982 Mercedes Benz 240 Diesel Limousine was always a dream in life for one young boy in New Jersey, who sadly had his life cut short at the age of 15.

After she dies he spent every penny he had on her memorial, erecting life like statues and having overstuffed chairs flown in from Italy. The memorial that he created has now brought a lot of money in for the city, as he unknowingly built a tourist attraction.

Cemetery Home

In Brooklyn, one man created a home around the casket of his wife. He added an empty casket for himself in the future, so he would be able to lie next to his wife. He also added furniture, a wood stove, paintings and decoration. Upon the passing of the man, 7,000 people stopped by to view the remarkable gravestone.

The Wheelchair Monument

This unique and touching monument shows a young boy jumping upward and out of his wheelchair. As he was confined to the chair for most of his young life, the monument now represents that he is free from earthly burdens.
