They have been called headstones, tombstones, even gravestones, but their intent is the same. They are used to mark the resting place of the dead. According to historians, the grave markers were not intended to be a memorial, but a stark reminder of what awaited anyone that did not live a godly life. The carvings on the tombstones were dark, frightening images that depicted a hellish fate and eternal damnation. While other superstitions called for a huge slabs of marble and stone. After all, if the body was not completely covered, it might rise again and escape.
