After entering through the yard gate of Šiauliai Cathedral, on the left side you can see a dark stone resembling a table. A large boulder was cut lengthwise, and its top was polished. The year 1986 was engraved on the edge of the stone, and to the right of it, in the corner, the face of an angel was carved. The same faces of angels were also carved above the main entrance to the Cathedral.
The stone was used for funeral rites: coffins used to be put on it. Earlier, another coffin-shaped grey stone with uneven surface was used for that purpose. The stone is still lying in the churchyard, drawn away from the gate.
