Two Tragic Stories at the Cemetery

The first statue is of a young woman shown in her wedding dress. She and her new husband were killed by an avalanche while on their honeymoon in Austria. I think the guide said she was about 24 years old. The statue is a green marble and she has her dog standing beside her.

The other statue is of a young woman, Rufina Cambaceres, who was accidentally buried alive. It is speculated that she was in a coma when she was thought to have died so she was put in the coffin. A day later a caretaker heard screaming but by the time they could get the coffin open, she had already died. They found scratch marks inside the coffin so there was no doubt about what had happened. The mother built a magificent Carrara marble coffin carved with a rose on top. The statue shows the girl trying to open the door to her tomb.
