DPL: Gravestone Symbols and Burial Societies

8th Floor - Genealogy Section, J. Erik Jonnson Central Library 1515 Young Street, Dallas, TX, United States

There's more to our ancestors and relatives' final resting places than just the words on the headstone. Headstone symbols, cemetery location, and the section of the cemetery can all tell us more about the life of an ancestor or relative. Burial societies existed to support communities through the death and burial process; fraternal organizations also often provided support after a death. Learn more about the clues lurking beneath the surface.
