Headstone

Headstone

a monument placed at the head of a grave, as a memorial of the departed. Anciently, the cross in some form or other was invariably used, either simply, with floriated ends, within a circle, or in some other obvious form. During the 15th century the cruciform shape was displaced by other forms less Christian, neither artistic nor ornamental.

Headstone

Psa 118:22 (a) This is a type of the Lord JESUS. He is both the cornerstone and the headstone. He is the beginning of the church, and the end of the church. The beginning of the Christian life is brought about by trusting the Saviour. The end of the Christian life is to live with the Saviour.
