A Colorado Cemetery Now Has a Phone Booth
It was already one of the most interesting cemeteries in Colorado, now it will be known for having this phone booth. Not many are pleased about it, either.
When we live in a time when the odds of finding any phone booth in America is very slim, here's one that, while it doesn't work,) is indeed a phone booth in Colorado.
It's not one of those non-descript one, either; it's as if "Dr. Who" was buried at this cemetery.
Colorado Woman Has a Red Phone Booth as Headstone
If you know Colorado, and the Colorado mountain towns, you know that there's a certain "Don't give a damn" sensibility in the mountain towns. This Colorado woman took that sensibility and attitude with her to the grave, literally.
According to the Colorado Sun, this woman who lived in Silverton, found out that she was going to pass due to uterine cancer; preparing for her own passing, she procured a British-styled phone booth to serve as her memorial/headstone.
