Have you ever looked at a tombstone and wondered just what the image that is engraved in the stone means? While doing the cemetery transcriptions and photographing markers, I see so many different engravings. Some easily portray the meaning, others sometimes leave me wondering. If you would like study this further, below are some links that will help or you can just type Gravestone Symbolism into your browser.
