White Bronze Monuments!
~~~~~~~~~
How many of us have seen photographs of them or have been fortunate enough to have admired them in person?
They dot a cemetery's landscape projecting a commanding presence with their finely etched features and almost glistening granite-looking composition. But, being made of granite, they are not!

Some may consider them oddities.
We know that they are not really so odd, but are quite often one-of-a-kind originals to behold.
They truly are a delight to the eye.
Most have retained the same appearance and stand in an almost new condition as the day they were installed to honor the life of the deceased whose gravesite they mark.
Let's take a short tour of Greenwood's White Bronze Markers - some are shown with views from different vantage points.

While not a white bronze (zinc) monument,
this towering obelisk and surrounding markers
grace the grounds at the Greenwood Cemetery in Wellington
and invite a visitor to stop and linger for awhile longer.
