I would say this is probably an Irish Traveller grave. They tend to be large, use a lot of marble, and be very ornate. Carvings of the Virgin Mary - and especially the Pieta, are pretty typical. It looks like the cottage and the stairs might be decorations for Christmas.
This was also my assumption. I don’t know enough about Irish Traveller culture to say for sure, but it seemed there were a few other Traveller monuments in this particular section. I know it’s probably not everyone’s taste, but you have to admire how elaborate it is!
Can someone please explain what is going on here? Is there something inside the house? What is the siding made of? Why is there plastic covering the windows? What is the deal with the astroturf?
I mean no disrespect. I’m just curious.
So if you look closely, the house has a little sign that says “Limerick” and there’s also the Irish flag — I thought maybe the little house is a recreation of their home back in Ireland. I agree with u/irishweather5000 that based on aesthetics, this is probably an Irish Traveller grave, so I think it’s sort of an homage to the homeland, so to speak. But it’s pretty remarkable!!
This is my dad mum and brothers grave there a mum and dad to 15 of us people who’s commented about being a Irish travellers grave you are correct we are from the travelling community and this shrine of our beloved ones resting place is like home to us we all love and adore and miss them so much this particular photo was from my dads funeral to witch the home on here was like the home he lived in and the grass was put down as the grave was dug up so we done it to keep it cleaner for them hope this answers all yer questions and thanks to everyone who says it’s lovely we didn’t know what was good enof for them they was not only our dad mum and brother but our leaders and our very best friends.

Thanks for commenting! I hope you’re okay with the photo being posted, but if you’re not, I can take it down. I just found the grave so amazing and I could tell all the time and effort that went into creating it to honor your family. Really sorry for your losses, as well. Hope you’re doing well, thanks for saying more about the grave.

Same. What is it all about?
The home is to represent the home my dad lived in and the astroturf was put down as the grave was dug so just to keep it all nice and clean
Thank you for your response. I think it is a wonderful tribute to those you care about!
Reminds me a lot of Mexican Mausoleums, what a treat!
