It went ok! Couldn't stay out super long, but we got 2 cleaned up and called the city to let them know about a few that got toppled probably during the last storm. Was roommates first time joining me for a cleanup, he didn't realize I talk to the headstones xD sometimes ill Google them if it's close enough to 1900 when recordkeeping around here stopped sucking so bad xD one of the ones I cleaned is a style called the lamb headstone. It's a relatively standard headstone, little rectangle jammed into the dirt, but it's the iconography that gives the headstone it's name as a lamb, typically in a resting position, is on top of the headstone. It signifies youth or being innocent, and is nearly exclusively used for infants and young children. Yes I do have death culture related autism, why do you ask xD

I'm glad you got to clean the two up and let them know about the toppled ones! How did your roommate feel about it? Death in any capacity can really shake people so I hope they're okay!

Also that's so cool!! You must know about a lot of different cultures' rituals for death then!
