The Mercedes Benz Tombstone

A Stylish Ride to the Other Side 

Located in the peaceful setting of the Linden Park Cemetery in Union County, stands a monument to one young man's love of an automobile. The final resting place of Raymond Tse is an impressive enough looking mausoleum adorned by marble pillars, urns and relief sculptures of two oriental lions set into the facade. But what really puts this tomb in a luxury class by itself is the full size granite replica of a Mercedes Benz 240 Diesel that is parked right out back. The car, which is an exact scale model of the German four-door sedan, was chiseled from a single block of stone. There it sits, fully loaded and bearing all of the appropriate manufacturer's insignias, eternally at the ready to whisk the dear departed away to the hereafter. It even has personalized license plates bearing the name Ray Tse.
