Day 4 of #31daysofgraves - language. I will never tire of reading gravestones and I’m fascinated by the language we use to express love, remembrance and honour for our dead. The epitaph on Elizabeth Buckley’s grave is utterly heartbreaking. She was married to coal miner Abraham and had 5 children.

#31DaysofGraves #Day4 #Languages This stone caught my attention as it's in the same graveyard as my grandparents on the Isle of Skye. I was intrigued as it's the grave of a woman whose native language was likely French, and has a Gaelic epitaph meaning "This is where she wants to be".

#31DaysOfGraves Day 4 - Languages I've drawn a blank with foreign languages in my local cemetery, but wandering around there today did make me think about the language we use around death.
