There were many such small mausoleums in the cemetery, but this one was interesting in that the name of one person who had already died was chiseled on the right, but the name of another (a Foreign Service officer) who is still alive was below that. I don’t think I’d want to have my name and date of birth in stone, just awaiting a date of death!

“The Congressional Cemetery or Washington Parish Burial Ground is a historic and active cemetery located at 1801 E Street, SE, in Washington, D.C., on the west bank of the Anacostia River. It is the only American "cemetery of of national memory " founded before the Civil War. Over 65,000 individuals are buried or memorialized at the cemetery, including many who helped form the nation and the city of Washington in the early 19th century.” (Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Cemetery)
