This was originally intended as an anecdotal genealogy website dedicated to putting a personality on those that have passed before, specifically those that I have heard stories about or even knew personally. But it has gradually changed to cemetery statuary, and as it was at first, featuring celebreties. For my personal links go to the end of the blog, Spencer G Corkum

There is a new day coming upon rising.

Santa Maria Magdalena de Pazziz Cemetery, San Juan

This is a wonderful cemetery alongside the ocean in Puerto Rico. View photos of the Jose Ferrer memorial. These stones are quite elaborate. Apparently Ferrer's father designed it for his father and family, if my sources are correct, and depicts Jose Ferrer when he was fourteen. Ferrer himself was a famous actor with an impressive voice and presence. Among many other awards, he earned an oscar, and was in demand, acting right up until his death at 83 in 1992.
