Three doves of peace (on two monuments) can be viewed from the posted co-ordinates. While Beechwood Cemetery dates back to the 1870s, apparently doves of peace are found only on monuments from the last twenty years.
A pair of doves adorn the polished granite memorial concerning Joseph Stanley Torrens and his wife Norma Jane (Doughty) Torrens. On the newer monument, there is a single dove carrying a large olive branch on the memorial for Genovaite (Sosaite) Balaisis and her husband Leonas Balaisis. These two memorials can be visited in section 100, Beechwood Cemetery.
