In a cemetary of the Dutch city of Roermond, you can find the 'graves with the hands.' On the protestant part of this cemetery colonel of the Dutch Cavalry J.W.C van Gorcum is buried. His wife, lady J.C.P.H van Aefferden is buried in the catholic part. Because of the difference in religion, they were not allowed to be buried together.
The colonel died in 1880 and was buried on the protestant part of the cemetery against the wall. His wife died in 1888 and was buried on the catholic side. Two clasped hands connect the graves across the wall.
