The Tombstones at St Mary’s Church

St Mary’s Church at Fort St. George in Chennai is the oldest Anglican Church in Asia. Did you know this Church is surrounded by dozens of very old tombstones? These tombstones have been through a lot, and They have travelled a fair bit and have quite a story to tell!

Thanks for the info, I was confused/mildly horrified when I saw this, but feel better knowing they made the choice themselves, it wasn’t done to them at a later date
