How sad, and how refreshingly honest too. Victorian I presume? The Victorians had less hang-ups about death than we seem to have today.

A bit earlier, 1797 for the second one and 1806 for the first one. Both people from the same family. They sounded a cheerful bunch!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

As I'm not very keen on poetry etc, these are exceptional. Sad but with a tint of humour. Thanks for sharing, I really like them!
Kind regards,

I spend a lot of time in cemeteries in the course of my work, mostly sorting out noisy youths.
I don't take a camera as they don't like being bumped around in motorcycle boxes. Still when the weather's right I might just visit a few on my days off.
Cheers, HG

Kris, have you tried them in B&W with more contrast? they may be easier to read.

I once had the job of photographing a funeral, 'Smile, please!'. Maybe not. Curious job though.

Undercliffe in the snow?
I'm mad, not suicidal!
When it snows it's time to use the car, claim mileage and hunt for miscreants in the parks and cems on foot.
And fall over a lot on the ice!!

Hertfordshire,
mostly.
Affliction sore long time I bore
Physicians were in vain
I found no ease till God did please
To ease me of my pain.
A pale consumption gave the fatal blow
The stroke was certain but the effect was slow
With wasting pains death found me long oppressed
Pitty'd my sighs and finally gave me rest
