| Gravestone of Di Agostino family: Anna, Constandino, and their daughter Mary |
Ceramic pictures occasionally appear on gravestones. Photographing them helps preserve these images.
These images of Anna Picone (1875-1958) and Constandino Di Agostino (1877-1936) are affixed to their gravestone in Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in East Orange, Essex County, New Jersey. As time passes, these pictures will become worn. They might fall from the stone or go missing.
(Holy Sepulchre lies in East Orange and Newark. This gravestone is in Newark.)
Some poking around at Ancestry revealed that someone else took pictures of these photographs, but now they are preserved in additional locations online.

Anna's obituary references a tunnel leading to parking area. Anyone know what or where this is? Is it South Orange Avenue (County Route 510) as it passes under the Parkway? Section V, where this gravestone resides, is close to the Garden State Parkway. It is visible from the northbound lanes. The Parkway was nearing completion in 1958, when Anna died.

The southbound lanes border another side of the cemetery. Below is an undated earlier aerial picture of the Parkway and the cemetery on both sides of the road, followed by the modern-day Google aerial map.
