In the cemetery of the church of "Nossa Senhora de Saude" (Our Lady of Health) at Saude, located south of Fort Kochi, there are two vertically mounted Portuguese tombstones. The following link to my blog 'Jewish Monuments of Kerala' covers them in detail.
A pictorial blog for the European funerary heritage of Kerala. This include English, Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Italian grave markers. The earliest are the 16th century Portuguese tombstones in the St Francis Church of Fort Kochi. The primary objective of the blog is to identify and upload as many of the extant pre-independence European funerary monuments in Kerala. Memorial tablets inside the churches may also be considered. Biographical details are beyond the scope of this blog.
