Weeping Willow Tree Images on Tombstones, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery
I am guessing this image is supposed to be a weeping willow.
Meaning: Nature's lament, a symbol of sorrow and mourning; Perpetual mourning and grief.
when I first saw it I thought it was the tree of life, but now that I read the symbols and meanings I can see they are weeping willow trees, which I do love. The second tree also has an urn. The urn is a symbol of immortality (the storing of the vital organs was of extreme importance to the ancient Egyptians who believed that life would be restored through the vital organs placed in the urn).
Sleepy Hollow cemetery has very old graves, so i enjoyed taking photos of the beautiful carving on the graves. Enjoy.

Also found this double tree image in the Sleepy Hollow cemetery. [sorry it is so blurry - it is the only one I have of this one]
not sure if these are the tree of life or these are supposed to be willow trees as well?
what do you think?
