Engraved tombstone, in Moose Factory, Ontario, Canada more
This headstone is engraved with Aboriginal designs, including a teepee or wigwam (it’s too stylized for me to tell which), canoes or coracles, clouds and birds, and, wrenchingly, lists some forty names, headed “loving memories of” and with the words:
safe in the arms of jesus
we shall meet on the beautiful shore
