The Burning Candle of Forest Park


Simmons-Eason Family Plot
Forest Park East Cemetery
Shreveport, Louisiana
This is a unique idea for a monument and it's placement within the plot. It's centered between two families plots, Simmons on one side and the Easons on the other. The monument itself is beautifully made: red granite flame, white marble candle/holder and a rough cut black granite base. The detail is amazing: a flowery vine twines around the candle and there is even a wax drip sculpted down the side. This is located right by the huge viaduct that runs through the older section (turn left as you enter the main gait and it's in front of the duct on the right).
