“Tipping Cube”
This is the first and only tipping cube I’ve seen at a #cemetery therefore I looked up if there was any meaning to it.
The Symbolism: In Victorian and early 20th-century cemetery iconography, geometric shapes had deep meanings. While a square or flat-sitting cube meant stability and a moral, solid life, tilting the cube onto its apex explicitly symbolized the precarious, fragile balance between life and death, or the sudden tips of fate that alter a family's trajectory.
