Harmony Grove Cemetery | Salem, MA

This flat marker is comprised of two stones. The black granite frame enhances the slate’s distinctive color while offering edge protection from lawn mowers.

In my search for unique stones, I discovered this exceptional mottled slate featuring a striking green swash—a natural masterpiece that makes this memorial truly one of a kind.

The hand-painted letters draw inspiration from the timeless carvings of the Trajan Column and the gilded ornamental hedera symbolizes Alex’s deep love of classical literature. The epitaph was thoughtfully chosen from his favorite poems.
