Grave with the Hands" in Roermond, Netherlands 🇳🇱

These are the graves of Jacobus Warnerus Constantinus van Gorkum (1809-1880) and Josephina Carlina Petronella Hubertina van Aefferden (1820-1888), a Protestant man and a Catholic woman who were not allowed to be buried together. Their children commissioned the hands you can see on both graves to honor their parents' love story and their wish to be together forever.how beautiful and sad this is at the same time. What do you think of this story? Would you want to be buried with your loved one? Do you think it's right that they weren't buried together? I look forward to reading your answers.
