5. Oak Leaves and Wheat 

Oak Leaves (Example on “Father” Stone) 
Oak leaves are a symbol of honor and strength.

​

Sheaf of Wheat (Example on “Mother” Stone)
Wheat symbolizes immortality or long life.  It can also represent the Body of Christ and the resurrection, as symbolized in the eucharist.

​

An alternative meaning stems from wheat symbolizing prosperity and bounty in the autumn or fall of one’s lifetime. It is considered a loving tribute to a loved one with a life well lived.
