Crossed two more cemeteries off the list. Two weeks ago, Danialle and I visited Saint Boniface Cemetery and Bohemian National Cemetery.

The stand-out monument, for me, at Saint Boniface Cemetery is the Link mausoleum. The Link mausoleum is flanked by a Saint on either side of the door while a Putto watches from above. The image above is a close-up shot of the Saint residing on the right-side of the doorway.

Bohemian National Cemetery is very large and beautiful. We were only able to scratch the surface of this expansive graveyard in the two hours we spent there. Sadly, the chapel and columbarium building were closed during our visit.
