I was wondering..
Would the graves of Freemasons have any kind of symbol on it to signify that this person was, infact, a freemason?
My father told me that pretty much all of the males in his family excluding him belonged to the Freemasons and that he would often ask them what they did in their secret meetings and theyd never tell.
So I figured I would go to the cemetary and look at some of my family gravestones to see if I could find any evidence.

Kinda like religious symbols - the answer is, "It depends". It depends on the cemetary rules, and it depends upon the decedant's family (if they want to, and if they have the money to add the symbol.

You can, because the symbols have been on graves before. There's a chance that you'll find it.

Traditionally it has been the skull and crossbones symbol to mark Freemasons graves.

I thought skull and bones just before I saw that photo. It also looks like the same photo I saw a few weeks ago.
I guess you could also look for things like eye of horus or any kind of eye, especially when it's with a pyramid. Maybe even an owl might be a sing of a Mason.
