Vermont is known as the ?granite capital of the world? as most supplies of this rock come from this area. This is why uniformity can be found on Vermont cemetery?s headstones, as they are all made from the same material.

However, some cemeteries tend to shine the brightest for the creativity of its headstones. This is the very case of Hope Cemetery. Filled with beautifully crafted tombstones that are fashioned in a wide variety of ways, it has already become a good part of the Rock of Ages tours.

Visitors can see headstones shaped like a racing car, soccer ball, angels, and actual sculptures fashioned after the demised in Hope Cemetery. Some are also more commonplace, like couches or benches, but they are all worth a visit.
