Graveyards and Gravestones / The Letter "P" on gravestones.
« on: Tuesday 19 May 09 18:29 BST (UK) »
in my local cemetery , a lot of the earlier gravestones have the letter "P" on the bottom front.
this is accompanied by a number.
the number obviously is the number of the grave (in the row) , but the letter isn't the section or the row letter .
the only thing i can come up with is possibly the grave was pre-purchased and the base stone was erected before the grave was buried in , or possibly it could mean "perpetuity".
Any ideas anybody > thanks.
