The Village of Llanybri near Carmarthen

"CHAPEL MEMORIAL"

Capel Newydd in Llanybri is the setting for the panel representing Death and Immortality, dark purples and mauves are used for mourning. The simplicity of the Chapel shape represents different forms of worship, and the growth of chapels in Wales during the 18th and 19th Centuries.
Lilies are peace and purity, the tombstones reflect the Victorian trend of erecting monuments according to the importance of the deceased. The Angel is the receiver of souls, the chapel door is open for the spirit to be received, and the spots of colour in the sky are the passage of spirits to heaven. Organic forms of flowers and leaves to remind us of our natural roots. The inscription in Welsh "Er Cof" "In Memory" and "Peace, Perfect Peace" "Hedd Perfaith Hedd."
