What do lions signify at a gravesite?
LION: If you’ve ever seen “The Wizard of Oz,” then it probably comes as no surprise that the king of the jungle often represents courage when seen in a graveyard. Lions also represent God’s power and the strength to combat evil.
Here in north Texas, I don’t come across lions very often, but when I do it is usually in conjunction with opulent mausoleums and/or headstones for wealthy people.
