The Gravestone Girls’ mission is to "Keep Our Dead Alive!” They create decorative artwork using the beautiful and primitive images carved on olde New England gravestones; give lectures on cemetery art, history and symbolism; as well as teach gravestone rubbing classes. Their work aims to entertain and educate on the historical perspective of old cemeteries by documenting and preserving the beautiful art they contain. Find out more at gravestonegirls.com.
