The grave on which the Grim Reaper is located is already very old. Since the cemetery has been reaching the limits of its capacity for years, the option of a grave sponsorship was introduced for old graves whose useful life has expired. Interested people take over this and thus the care, may have their own relatives buried there. A stonemason family from Cologne felt the same way about this grave. Very important, in this family we talked about death even during our lifetime. And, it turns out, one of the sons wanted to be buried at the Grim Reaper's feet.

...and the little frog

Sadly, this son was the victim of a tragic accident when he was just 11 years old. The family complied with his request and buried him here. There is a small frog on his tombstone, which has clearly made itself comfortable there. The boy's nickname was "little frog".... the little frog and the grim reaper.
