Love this beautiful little Art Nouveau style bronze angel on the Walter MacFarlane Memorial in the Nercopolis in Glasgow. It was created by the Australian artist Bertram MacKennal in 1896.

The Monteath Mausoleum in the Necropolis in Glasgow. Dating from the mid-1800s, it was designed by David Cousin and was based on the Knights Templar Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Built for Archibald Douglas Monteath, it's unusual in having no dedication or inscription of any kind on it.

MacKenzie, a cabinetmaker and upholsterer, was a founding partner in the Sun Foundry and was its primary financier when it was created by George Smith in 1858, which may explain why he was given quite such an ornate cast iron memorial.

The recently restored Alexander MacKenzie memorial in the Glasgow Necropolis. Unlike almost all the other memorials in this Victorian cemetery, the MacKenzie memorial is made from cast iron.

The Glasgow Necropolis: Many of the architects and sculptors who created the beautiful buildings for the city of the living also created monuments for the city of the dead.

David and James Hamilton's Grand Processional connecting Glasgow Cathedral (top right) to the Necropolis. Built in the 1830s, for many Glaswegians it marked the final journey from the city of the living across Bridge of Sighs over the Moledinar Ravine to the city of the dead.

An early morning view from the Necropolis across to the buildings of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. While the Necropolis first opened in 1833, the hospital has been based on this site since the 1790s.
