In 1882 Francis Dorn lost his wife and child during childbirth. He constructed this mausoleum to store and guard over their bodies. Inscribed at the base of the ~20 foot tall monument in stone; “disturb not the sleep of death.”
The pyramid sits separated from the rest of the headstones. It’s the only spot on the grounds that can support the weight of the stone without sinking into the earth. Dorn died in 2018 and was sealed away with his family.
It is the physical manifestation of grief.
