Charleston cemeteries always felt like sacred ground. The black iron gates weren’t just decoration—they were keepers of memory.

This one was inspired by the haunted hush of Spanish moss, wrought iron fences, and the heavy history that hums through the city at night. Like the story of Sue Howard Hardy, the grieving mother said to still visit her infant’s grave at St. Philip’s Church. Charleston doesn’t let go of its ghosts easily.
