Immortal Repose

Funerary monument to Ardeshir Dadabhoy Chothia (1883-1921), whose cremated remains lie here in the Parsee section of Brookwood Cemetery, Brookwood, Woking, Surrey.

A desolate mourning figure clinging, almost disbelievingly, to his monument. The verse inscribed below his name reads, "He too has crossed the bridge 'twixt life and death / Whate'er there be, and wither beyond, who knows — / An [sic] it be so, the light of Mazda dawn upon his soul / With love refulgent and with immortal repose."
