Description: Dedicated in 1918, the Little Church of the Flowers was the first church built on existing cemetery property in the United States. Its design was inspired by a village church at Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire, England, where poet Thomas Gray penned his "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard."
