A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts two men with light skin tones walking toward our right. On our left, a man wears a newsboy cap and dark cardigan, holding his hand to his face. Beside him, another man wears a fedora and light-colored shirt. Behind them, a storefront window displays a white urn and text reading "CEMETERY MEMORIALS." A dark staircase recedes into shadows between the two figures.
