Dead Design

I am a couple of months behind finding this, but I just have so am blogging it now. I truly love this and am relieved to see that you are allowed to design your own headstone! It's always disappointing when visiting a loved one's grave side to see an ugly gravestone marking where their body, or now bones and a box, lay. Gravestones seem to predominately adopt a very similar layout, which I presumed was some sort of grave yard standard or default template which the gravestone markers adhered to. Well, no more to the those disgusting centre justified block clutters of type, or those afterthought and often pointless images squashed into the corner, while there is this awkward space left on the remaining area's of the stone. Instead, hats off to Peter Saville and Ben Kelly on this beautiful headstone designed for Anthony H Wilson.
