| <note>Seen as an important symbol of life, hands and fingers carved on tombstones represent the deceased's relationships with others and with God. Hands are found most commonly on tombstones from the Victorian era and are typically seen in one of four ways: |
| * blessing, |
| * clasping, |
| * pointing, or |
| * praying. \\ |
| A hand with the index finger pointing up symbolizes the hope of heaven, while a hand with the index finger pointing down represents God reaching down for the soul. The finger pointing down does not indicate damnation; instead it most commonly represents an untimely, sudden, or unexpected death. A hand with a finger pointing at a book typically represents the Bible. Clasped hands usually indicate marriage or sometimes God's welcoming the deceased into heaven.</note> |
