The sundial symbolises mortality and the passage of time.  But seems to me it's rather a sad reminder that the sundial will continue to mark the passage of time when the person that rests beneath it no longer will.

Egyptian Influences

The Egyptians influenced monuments can be found in almost every cemetery that was founded from the 1840s and 50s on to present day.  Napoleon's 1798-99 Egyptian campaigns and the discoveries at the tombs of the Pharaohs led to a resurgence of interest in the ancient Egyptian culture. And it can be seen in our cemeteries and many other places.

Obelisks are one of the most popular types of Egyptian influenced markers. You can see them in just about any cemetery. They were considered tasteful with their pure uplifting lines and associated with ancient greatness. They were also able to be used in relatively small spaces and  less costly than the larger and more elaborately sculpted monuments.

Here are a few of the larger Egyptian influences mausoleums I have found.
