I was out taking photos today in our local cemetery and came across this tombstone. I have never seen anything like it. Whats with the eye?

It's the all seeing eye.

The person was a mason.

National treasure FTW. the only reason i even know about it. although what tipped me off is below the eye. this would make an amazing tombstone for someones cemetery.

OK I lurk here mostly but it is a Masonic members Tombstone. The square and compass and the all seeing eye are masonic symbols. Very nice design actually and very nice to see a traveler have his stone have the tools of his craft.

Yepp, definately a mason. Local cemeteries are full of ones with the compass and square, but i'd never seen one with the eye on it before! Thanks for sharing the pic!

beautiful cross, have seen other mason tombstones, don't remember the eye,I love the garland of flowers on it, and for me, personally, love the text, "asleep in Jesus"
