A Broken Chain
In the medieval ages, a chain was often used as a metaphor for what kept the soul in the body. The broken chain found on tombstones represents the soul being freed from its physical shell. If the chain is unbroken and if it features the letters FLT (for Friendship, Love, and Truth), it probably means the deceased belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

Holy god ... I am a stonemason. I created gravestones for a living. And whoever imagined that stuff needs to go back to astrology. Never heard a single thing from this list in my whole professional life.

#9 To me it seems there is a whole f@#kton of imagery going on. The wisdom of the owl? Ouroboros (snake eating it's own tail) signifying eternal destruction and rebirth.
