Taking a walk in a cemetery can be a contemplative and thought-provoking experience. Reading gravestones and reflecting on the lives of those who have died puts us in touch with our mortality and the general fragility of life, and can also prompt our own internal life review as we consider how we would like to be remembered. Even when cremation is chosen, a person can express themselves through specialized urns or small decorations visible in some crematory niches or messages carved outside their vaults in columbarium. There's something moving about walking through a cemetery and considering the symbolism shared among some tombstones and the individual messages that some leave behind as clues to who they were during their lives and how they want to be remembered. Common Gravestone Symbolism Gravestone styles and symbols, especially in America, have changed over the centuries. In the 17th and into the early 18th centuries, gravestones were hand carved and very individual; although there was some common symbolism (such as the skull with wings, an early Puritan gravestone symbol), most stone imagery was designed to remind the viewer that life was short, rather than offer clues to the individual buried beneath. As the nation evolved and began to value individuality over conformity, so did gravestone design. As cemeteries became recreational spaces in the mid to late 19th century, gravestones became more elaborate and beautiful. Lamb, Orb, Urn - Stroudsburg Cemetery, Str...

Minutes of Claude Myers Post #274 showed the names of the cemeteries in the Browning area which were decorated, annually, with American flags at the grave of each veteran. In 1967 this marking-all-graves-with-a-flag practice ended. Instead, the post began installing flag poles at each of these cemeteries and a single, large flag was hoisted each Memorial Day. Various reasons are given by those who remember this change in practice: Vandals took or scattered flags; the men who knew where all the graves were had died; etc. As part of a special Memorial Day 1993 commemoration, small American flags were placed at EVERY grave of a veteran (of ANY war), including all post members. Auxiliary unit members' graves were marked that way, too. In preparation for this special-event, the cemeteries were visited and the location of graves was noted. A code was used to identify the location of each grave to be flag-marked. If the gravestone was a military stone an "m" was marked down; if it was a civilian stone a "c" was used as a code. And, if any special veteran-denoting marker was found, it was recorded as "l" for American Legion bronze marker, "a" for Legion Auxiliary bronze marker, or "vfw", "ww1", etc. for any other-marker found.

15. A Rich History: African American Funeral Traditions
... cemetery remains favored. The repast continues to be an important ... How Abraham Lincoln Changed our Experience of Grief and Death · Welcome to the ...
As a thanatologist, much of my academic study has centered around the funeral customs of countries and cultures other than my own – White, American, Episcopalian. In 2022, I attended a session on African-American funeral traditions at the National Funeral Director’s Association International Convention and Expo. I’d known very little about the origins of these services, and as I began to research, I uncovered a rich history shaped not only by social, spiritual, and religious beliefs but also by 18th and 19th-century segregation laws and restrictions. Origins of the Contemporary African American Funeral Experience Historically, the African American funeral drew not only on traditions that date back to Egypt and West Africa but also on the rituals formed during and immediately following the years of enslavement in the United States. In the early days of slavery, African Americans were not allowed to collectively to mourn their dead; however, over time, rebellions eventually led to a relaxation of this restriction and provided an opportunity for gathering. Drawing upon the practices of their ancestors, they continued the traditions of carefully washing and dressing the deceased's body in their best clothes and holding a viewing for friends and family. A repast – an elaborate funeral meal – typically followed the viewing, service, and burial. At this gathering, people freely expressed both grief at the loss and jubilation at the idea that the deceased was entering a heavenly real...
