Cafferata

Location: St. Joseph New Cemetery Cemetery, Delhi Township (outside Cincinnati), Ohio

This is a family grave stone, the family name is Cafferata. Buried here are Domenic (father), Maria (mother), and Lola Julia (I can only assume daughter). The statue is of a crying woman which is part of the reason I picked it, in a Catholic cemetery full of overtly Catholic imagery here was a grave stone that featured something that was not overtly Catholic. I initially assumed that the statue may have symbolized a woman mourning over the loss of her husband, but the husband actually outlived the wife. I found an image of mourning to be an interesting contrast in a cemetery that otherwise preaches "everlasting life".
