Highgate Cemetery East is a bit larger, flat and laid out in a grid. It doesn't have the spooky aspect of the West side. What it does have though are vast wooded areas filled with tombstones. They look like so many little stone trees. It also has Karl Marx.
Here lies the big guy himself. His tomb is enormous.
There are many newish graves with odd or funny or horrible stones. Here the sculpture is grotesque.
The stone in front is an artist pallet, the one to the right, a Penguin book cover, is for "an avid reader"
This is my favorite. It's the grave of Patrick Caufield, Pop Artist. Look carefully at the stone. It says "dead". Perfect.
