Tombstone

lay architecture

1921

An tombstone made of artificial stone (cast cement and lime, polished and carved) and a photograph which is considered rare in the Pomurje region. A toddler can be seen on it, on a bier. This entry was written in Prekmurje dialect with Hungarian letters: Here rests Leopold Šafarič, born in 1920 and died in 1921. Rest in peace.
The baptized children generally had their own gravesite, while the non-baptized children were buried incognito, without ceremony. Some were buried in the family grave, outside the cemetery or somewhere else, without any markings.
