The sculpture carved in stone is on top of the grave stone.

She is wearing a full length dress and is barefoot. She has a bunch of flowers carried with her right arm across her body and has a single flower head in her left hand and is leaning forward slightly as though she has started to bend and place that flower on the grave.

Someone has also placed some purple flowers between her left arm and her body.

The statue is on the right hand side of the cemetery as you enter from Calverly Lane.
