Here is part of my wander through the most amazing graveyard, Fiumei út, Budapest. Amazing Funerary art I have ever seen. Enjoy all you fellow tombstone tourists.
The tombstone of Zsigmond Farkasházi Farkasházy, a Hungarian lawyer and parliamentary representative. He died alone with no descendants
Frigyes Kilian was a prominent person in Hungarian publishing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That tomb must have cost a small fortune, it is a piece of art in its own right.
János Balassa it is said was the "inventor?" "discoverer?" of CPR having undertaken the first documented case of external heart massage.
He was also a world renowned plastic surgeon and a professor of surgery at the University of Pest
Anton Vetter von Doggenfeld, Dave to his mates, was a military general, who became deputy minister of war, and head of the military.
A sleeping lion on a grave is symbolic of courage, strength, and protection, reflecting the characteristics of the deceased's life
Loránt Hegedűs, a man of the cloth, bishop of the Dunamelléki Reformed Church
The Halltennerger family were big names in the automotive and transport industries.
Gyula Reviczky, a Hungarian poet and writer,
Ladislaus Josephus Balthasar Eustachius Mednyánszky, a Slovak–Hungarian painter and philosopher, said to be one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of Hungarian art. Don't know about that but he has got fucking long legs
The tomb of the Gerbeaud family, they made cakes, lots of cakes they had a confectionery empire until it was confiscated by the Commies in 1948
A copy of a sculpture "Ludovisi Gaul"; "The Gaul killing himself and his wife," It portrays a Gaul warrior in the act of killing himself after killing his wife, to avoid capture and enslavement by the Romans. In the original statue he is holding a dagger: looks like the woke brigade from the cancel culture have removed it from this copy. Shame on you fools.
Imre Mahunka, a Hungarian furniture manufacturer and minor politician, he and his wife had no kids , when he died he left over half his wealth to the catholic church. Buying a stairway to heaven
"Three Ladies in Sorrow". A common theme in Funerary art,three female figures expressing grief or sorrow, depicted in classical dress, with their faces obscured or expressing deep sadness. Not based upon any specific person they are known as.
Our Lady of Tears: passionate, uncontrollable weeping and grief for lost loved ones.
Our Lady of Sighs: more subdued, melancholic sorrow but with the seemingly never ending hurt of loss.
Our Lady of Darkness: a deep dark, more profound sorrow, despair and hopelessness.
Ah well sorry gal's but yes I have to leave you it is time I got back to the boat.
