Quaint Congressional Cemetery of Washington D C
In the eastern outskirts of Washington the Congressional cemetery holds 160 cenotaphs for congressmen who died away from home. Most markers are uniform blocks, with two notable exceptions a marble monument to Elbridge Gerry and a monument to George Clinton both former vice presidents. The site began with 400 burial plots and a policy that evolved into erecting cenotaphs only for those buried in the cemetery. The piece notes the shift from grand funerals to solemn memorials and contrasts past practices with modern congressional funerals.
