I'm not entirely certain what this grave marker means . I suspect it's something about rebirth, but the metaphor doesn't quite work for me--I'd like it better if the new growth came out of the ground instead of a planter. Nonetheless, this is a marvelous piece of art that's held up very well for over a century. Meadowbrook Cemetery, Roxand Township, Mulliken, Michigan. Facebook folks tell me this is a Woodmen of the World Women's Auxiliary monument. I claim absolutely no cemetery expertise.
