Hi there. In my line of business people often ask about symbolism and what it means when certain things are inscribed on a gravestone. Generally, the skull and crossbones just stands for mortality or death while a skull with wings refers to ascension to heaven. There are many gravestone symbols that through symbolism make a statement about the person buried there. For instance, a engraved Easter lily symbolizes purity.

Alritey then, a sword thru a skull and crossbones can mean a lot of different things, but let's take them in order. 1. Definitely it could be a PIRATE thing, many pirates made up their own flags with their favorite icons on them....They were almost always put on a black background because a black flag was a sign of 'NO QUARTER'... 2. With the sword going thru the skull and crossbones it could be a sign of anti-pirates.....pirate hunters were known to chase down the criminals for the reward.... 3. the first and last definition of the skull and crossbones is 'DANGER' and of course, 'POISON'......In ancient times a cross roads might be marked with a skull and cross bones to let travelers be wary of hiwaymen, pirates on the land. 4. It just might be a really nifty design that somebody likes.. Hope this helps................B
