Curious as to the oddest thing other members have seen when researching graves.
I have seen some creepy yet beautiful art work on the stones as well... anything from an intricate sleeping lamb to abstract art.
One of the creepiest things I have ever read was on a tombstone in the older section of the Trindle Springs Cemetery in Pennsylvania. "Mortal, where you stand, so once was I, and where I lay so will you one day."
