The cemetery grounds sprawl across the entire image. Mertie stands in the near distance, right-of-center. She faces towards the left and carries something in her hands. Flowers sit on the ground to the left of her. A row of gravestones stretches back on an angle from the lower left corner towards the center of the image. At right, a crypt obscured by trees stands. Trees and flower arrangements dot the cemetery grounds.
