Cemetery Symbolism: Remembering with Art
Cemeteries tell us much about who came before us. The size, shape and documentation vary from religious groups, time period, and location. But all are important outdoor museums. The symbols and markings that individuals put on their stones reveal much about the individual and family. Jeannie Regan-Dinius, Director of Historic Preservation for Crown Hill Foundation will discuss the understood meanings of the most common symbols found on tombstones in Indiana, how pop culture affects stones, and what you need to look at when you walk through a cemetery.
