Hi Liz,
I know what you mean about this list being deathly quiet......
For flower symbolism try the Tomb With A View website:

and click on gravestone symbolism. If you have any other questions regarding
traditional funerary iconography, I may be able to assist you. Hope this
helps.

I am interested in 18th century wall monuments -
in particular ones done by a family of masons
called Brute who worked in and around the Black
Mountains. If anyone has any knowledge of these
masons I would be pleased to hear from you.
In particular I am interest to know what, if any,
the flowers used on the monuments mean
iconographically - they are daisies, roses, tulips
and, occasionally, yew berries.
