This Celtic cross is from Abney Park, maybe the most 'gothic' cemetery from London's "magnificent seven". It's no surprise that a rock band in the USA used the name 🖤 #photography

In Victorian England, the language of flowers, or floriography, was a popular way to convey emotions and sentiments. Specific flowers such as white lilies, dark crimson roses, black hyacinths, violets, and rosemary (as seen here) are still associated with grief, loss, and remembrance.
