These have ranged from the huge imperishable pyramids of Kgypt, built to hold the sarcophagi of the mighty Pharaohs, to the pillar which Jacob set upon Rachel's grave. The custom still prevails, and according to our taste and means, we still raise a stone to our departed kin. Our modern Cemeteries may not show as many examples of quaint epitaphs and curious stones as the country church-yard, (for happily the taste for " uncouth rhymes and shapeless sculpture" has waned), but they show higher examples of monumental art, and the modern monument being I)ui!t generally of Granite, and set on solid foundations, is likely to defy the elements for many a century.
