From Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol (probably about 1880).

Statues on the grave are both a long-term memorial to a deceased loved one, and a display of wealth. The average grave is visited by family members for 15 years after the death, but the memorials can be used for research and inspiration hundreds of years later.
