Is this cross and crown, religious or masonic?
Catholic burial at Cleveland Calvary.
Now, the anchor is another symbol of faith. In this admiralty anchor a cross is, ever so slightly, hidden. Of course, the man could have been a sailor. The anchor echoes the cross and crown. The anchor was used on the graves of the catacombs. What does that signet mean? Although in life there is suffering (cross), life ends in the glory (crown) of heaven. That is a comforting thought for the departed, and his love ones.
