Interesting Architecture #2
Pizzati
This ornate, Italian-style tomb is the resting place of Captain Salvador Pizzati, who made his fortune in fruit importing. Pizzati's tomb is unique for more than its architecture. When he passed on, the captain left instructions that he was to be buried with his favorite rocking chair, and so he was-it's in the tomb with him.
Moriarty
The old story is that there are four statues on this monument: Faith, Hope, Love, and, of course, Mrs. Moriarty. That's the one the cab drivers love to tell, but the fourth statue is actually Memory. This is the largest and most recognizable monument in the cemetery.
