Our "Beyond the Grave" class visited the Bethel Methodist Cemetery last week. While we were there, we saw a lot of different symbols on many of the grave markers. I thought it was very cool to see such a variety of symbols dispersed on different grave markers.

 |
| This broken flower is typically used to symbolize love, attraction, and admiration. |

 |
| The wreath symbolizes redemption and victory. The dove represents the holy spirit, love, and purity. |
 |
| This broke flower is supposed to symbolize death. |
 |
| The sideways cross is a symbol of the crucifixion of Jesus. |
