Tiffany in the mausoleum

Knollwood Cemetery Mayfield Heights Ohio is a well landscaped graveyard. It has a very large mausoleum, with white marble. It has a lower, and upper floor. The upper floor, especially, has museum quality stained glass. In most of the alcoves there is artful glass; some decorative in design, and some in figure image. One can see some of these have been grouped, others must have been client selected. A few windows are still clear. The manufactures are not listed on most of the windows, though some are: Willet of Philadelphia, Westminster of New York City, and these christian tri-partite windows (at the end of halls) by Tiffany. All have quotes from the King James Version (KJV) of Scripture.
He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. — Matthew 28.6. 
 The spirit shall return unto God who gave it. — Ecclesiastes 12:7.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. — Matthew 11:28.
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. — Psalm 42:1.
Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people — 1 Kings 8:56.
_________________________________

some were abbreviated, here are all five complete:

He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay .

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.


Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .


As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.


Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
