Crystal Shrine Grotto is located within Memorial Park Cemetery near Memphis.
Many don't think that cemeteries are places to take a road trip, unless you are in New Orleans of course. BUT this one is also unique.
Abraham's Oak...
Many visit from around the world to see this shrine, sculpted in the 30s by a Mexican self taught and proclaimed sculptor by the name of Dionicio Rodriguez.

Don't forget to sign the guest book
The funeral home offers sacks of fish food for free so the children can feed the fish!
So escape the summer heat and see this site listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Other sculptures are on property such as The Wishing Chairs. Check it out!
