Rosehill Cemetery [The Jauriet Monument]



The Jauriet monument..
It is topped with a statue of a woman in a thin, clinging dress. This is an example of a "surrogate mourner". Female figures of this type usually do not represent an actual person, but rather an ideal woman that the man buried here would like to have mourning him..

  1. Jauriet is my middle name. This is the first reference Ihave ever seen of that name.
