Dillsburg, Pennsylvania

Garden Flags as Aides Memoires:  Small decorative flags are becoming ever more common in cemeteries. They are usually chosen to accentuate the virtues of a life well lived. The bereaved use them to bring out the personalities of their loved ones. What does this garden banner say about the person it honors? Patriotic, loved, memorable. The slogan "Always in Our Hearts" seems made for a cemetery, but most garden flags are simply repurposed to make graveyards feel more like home. Dillsburg Cemetery. [2013]
