SYMBOLS Stories of cultural life.

HAMMER

Within our cemeteries, it is common to find among different symbols objects that may reflect either the profession of the buried person, or act as a reference to their affiliations or membership (i.e. Freemasonry). They may also represent their hobbies, leisure or fields of interest.  

A hammer is often found on graves of carpenters, though it may also be used to symbolise the power of creation.  

A hammer crossed with a sickle, however, would obviously have a communist meaning.
