When Caroline Walter died too young, her sister donated a life-size sculpture to mark her grave. There's a lovely mystery here, too: every day since her death over 150 years ago, someone has left Caroline fresh flowers. Memorial page: ancstry.me/2IT0DKS photo: Frank K.

Actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr passed 20 years ago today. Her memorial in Vienna Central Cemetery nods to the radio signaling invention she patented in 1941. 88 steel spheres on rods form her pixelated portrait when viewed head-on. ancstry.me/2CVRo5V pc: Creative Commons

In Iowa's New Haven Cemetery, you'll find the grave of Alethea Burroughs. It's marked by a lovely monument with a particularly unique feature: a small side door that opens to reveal Alethea's 1897 obituary. findagrave.com/memorial/15563… photos: Sara A

As the memorial page says, this epitaph for a cat named Dewey is "worthy of a place in feline history." Dewey's memorial page: ancstry.me/2zfVnNe photo: H.Cook~Maine

It's been 75 years since 15-year-old Anne Frank passed away in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Her famous posthumously published diary, written during her two years in hiding during Nazi occupation, reveals her courage and hope in dark times. RIP, Anne. ancstry.me/2CHm0Ko

Crispy, buttery Spritz cookies are a Scandinavian Christmas tradition. Have you made them before? Naomi Dawson's grave marker holds a family recipe that might be worth a try this holiday season! Memorial page: findagrave.com/memorial/20281… photo: Brenda Barr-Gilbert

It's been 5 years since the death of Carrie Fisher. Her mother, Debbie Reynolds, passed away the next day. Their shared grave is marked by a beautiful statue of mother and daughter, side by side. Fisher: findagrave.com/memorial/17449… Reynolds: findagrave.com/memorial/17461… 📷: Team ✞ღLo❤

The incredibly thoughtful documentary of 17-year-old Georgia Lee and her friends is bringing a forgotten cemetery to light. She hopes that the county will make it a designated place. Love this! story here:
