In our cemetery’s Old Section, the symbols carved into gravestones can reveal a lot about the deceased’s beliefs and philosophies, or at least those attributed to them by their families when they were buried. Gravestone symbolism ranges from well-known symbols of major religions to the arcane and complex, each one often containing layer after layer of hidden meaning.  These twenty-one common symbols seen in Medfield are meant to relay messages to those who are still living.  There are so many more here, which is your invitation to stop by, and wonder.
