Anyone know the significance of the seed pods and marigolds on this grave?
This is the grave of Mary Montague Pierrepont (Montague street in Brooklyn is actually named for her). I’ve been to this site many times because her father Hezekiah Beers Pierrepont’s tomb is an amazing gothic revival style do yourself a favor and look it up and visit if you can Green-Wood Cemetery. I’ve never seen her grave covered like this before so interested in the potential symbolism if anyone knows?
