Cemeteries tell us much about who came before us. The size, shape, and documentation vary between religious groups, time periods, and locations, though all serve as outdoor museums. The symbols and markings put on headstones reveal much about the individual and family. Jeannie R. 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.
