In this category I would assume many of the waymarks are works of art which are easily recognizable. In this case, the funerary art is a massice abstract art work. It really did stand out in the traditional cemetery.

When entering the cemetery from the south you will see Hilde's grave at the end of the first section on your left. I searched from some information to understand more of this artwork.

"There are also remarkable graves such as for Hilde Viaene who died at a young age age suddenly died in Guatemala. The artwork (made by an artist from Bolivia) shows a red, iron lightning that symbol represents death. A young, dead woman lies on a wooden totem pole while her husband takes care of her body."
