Today we stopped by Lakeview Cemetery in Cleveland. A person from the main office was kind enough to lead us to the graves of our ancestors (those friendly Ohio folks). Afterwards he showed us the Haserot angel. The angel actually weeps due to the bronze make-up of the sculpture. The torch the angel is holding is upside down symbolizing "life extinguished.". We stumbled upon this at the web site Atlas Obscura which is a treasure trove of interesting and quirky destinations. http://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-haserot-angel
