Description
Photograph of people congregating around a cross and piano for a funeral in the desert, [s.d.]. A few men and women can be seen from behind at left wearing coats and suits looking towards a wooden cross stuck in the sand at right. A woman is seated in a director's style chair in front of what appears to be a piano next to the cross, while a group of people can be seen behind it. Two boxes can be seen in the left foreground, while a few people can be seen among shrubs in the background. Mountains can be seen in the distance.
