The sculpture "The Kiss of Death" (The Bes de la Mort) is undoubtedly the most famous and outstanding composition of the cemetery. A winged skeleton, death, in an almost erotic kisses the forehead of a young man collapses. By 1930 Llaudet family lost a son in his youth and wanted to make a sculpture for his tomb, which represent the following verses of the epitaph Cinto Verdaguer:

"And his young heart can not help;
in his veins the blood stops and freezes
and encouragement lost faith embraces
fall feeling the kiss of death"
