• The Best Ghost Stories Ever Written? | Christopher Fowler
• Man-size in Marble

While a couple of these books contain only ghost stories, many of the other books have a ghost story, or two, mixed in among his reportorial pieces on the old ways of Japan. He, too, liked to ramble, but at night. Nothing particularly deep about any of them but they are three that have stick in my mind, and frightened me when I read them. Have no idea of the title but I think it was probably in one of the Pan Book of Horror Stories series. Both of which have been dramatised by the BBC and the former is still to my mind one of the scariest pieces of TV drama ever made.

What a lot of great titles and I loved The Canterville Ghost, too. All suggestions gratefully received! March 31, at am. A Davies says:.

The names of relatives are often added to a gravestone over the years, so that one marker may chronicle the passing of an entire family spread over decades.

Since gravestones and a plot in a cemetery or churchyard cost money, they are also a symbol of wealth or prominence in a community. Some gravestones were even commissioned and erected to their own memory by people who were still living, as a testament to their wealth and status. In a Christian context , the very wealthy often erected elaborate memorials within churches rather than having simply external gravestones. Crematoria frequently offer similar alternatives to families who do not have a grave to mark, but who want a focus for their mourning and for remembrance.

Carved or cast commemorative plaques inside the crematorium for example may serve this purpose. A cemetery may follow national codes of practice or independently prescribe the size and use of certain materials, especially in a conservation area. Some may limit the placing of a wooden memorial to six months after burial, after which a more permanent memorial must be placed. Others may require stones of a certain shape or position to facilitate grass-cutting.

Headstones of granite , marble and other kinds of stone are usually created, installed, and repaired by monumental masons. Cemeteries require regular inspection and maintenance, as stones may settle, topple and, on rare occasions, fall and injure people; [1] or graves may simply become overgrown and their markers lost or vandalised.

Restoration is a specialized job for a monumental mason.

Even overgrowth removal requires care to avoid damaging the carving. For example, ivy should only be cut at the base roots and left to naturally die off, never pulled off forcefully. Many materials have been used as markers. The Majmuna Stone , a tombstone with an Arabic inscription dated on a reused Roman marble block. Now exhibited at the Gozo Museum of Archaeology. Sandstone vestige of a Jewish gravestone depicting a Tzedakah box.

Jewish cemetery in Otwock Karczew-Anielin , Poland. Gravestone showing death date of , Wormshill. Elaborately carved grave slab at Shebbear Devon, England showing a skull sprouting flowering shoots, as a symbol of resurrection. Markers sometimes bear inscriptions. The information on the headstone generally includes the name of the deceased and their date of birth and death. Such information can be useful to genealogists and local historians.

Larger cemeteries may require a discreet reference code as well to help accurately fix the location for maintenance. The cemetery owner, church, or, as in the UK , national guidelines might encourage the use of 'tasteful' and accurate wording in inscriptions. The placement of inscriptions is traditionally placed on the forward-facing side of the memorial but can also be seen in some cases on the reverse and around the edges of the stone itself. Some families request that an inscription be made on the portion of the memorial that will be underground.

In addition, some gravestones also bear epitaphs in praise of the deceased or quotations from religious texts, such as " requiescat in pace ". In a few instances the inscription is in the form of a plea, admonishment, testament of faith, claim to fame or even a curse— William Shakespeare 's inscription famously declares. Blest be the man that spares these stones, And cursed be he that moves my bones.

Or a warning about mortality , such as this Persian poetry carved on an ancient tombstone in the Tajiki capital of Dushanbe. I heard that mighty Jamshed the King Carved on a stone near a spring of water these words: "Many—like us—sat here by this spring And left this life in the blink of an eye. We captured the whole world through our courage and strength, Yet could take nothing with us to our grave.
