I love cemeteries, they have always held a certain fascination for me. They are restful, reflective places filled with a sense of timelessness. I have often wondered about the carvings on gravestones or the statuary there and wondered if there was a significant meaning of a particular carving. Below is a link that tells the meanings of some of the images found on tombstones. GRAVEN IMAGES: Gravestone Motifs & Their Meanings www.olivetreegenealogy.com/misc/grave.shtml

I've been to that link before Sissy and I agree - it is an interesting one! Neat to mess around with - find famous people's graves and all that.
