    Presented by Laurel Hill Cemetery at Laurel Hill Cemetery

    Victorian Philadelphians loved visual symbolism, and even their simplest grave markers are likely to be ornamented by ivy (for eternal life), lilies (for resurrection) or hour glasses (for brevity of life). Laurel Hill Cemetery is truly an outdoor sculpture garden, where the dead have always left symbolic messages to be read by the living.
