What does it mean when you have a skull surrounded by roses in a headstone?

There are a number of interpretations, however, if the headstone is relatively new (since 1962) the deceased may have been a "Deadhead" a follower of the band The Grateful Dead, as that is one of their symbols. The origin of the image comes from a black and white illustration in a book of poems from 1913.

What does a tattoo with a skull surrounded by roses mean?
it means you could be listening to too much grateful dead. seriously, it means NOTHING. stop looking for meaning in all tattoos. many tattoos are simply whimsical and fun or aesthetically pleasing. they don't all mean things. also, different designs mean different things to different people. there isn't an end all answer. try asking the person it's on what it means to them. Actually, your wrong ! It does mean something. I have a skull and roses tattoo and it means a great change in life. Skulls are associated with death, which is the greatest change of all.
What does a skull and cross bones on a headstone mean?
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.

If you stand at the foot of the grave should you read the font of the headstone?
I think so. why else would you be standing at the foot of a grave? unless it's somebody you know, in which case you don't really need to read the headstone every time you visit it. Do you mean 'should you be able to read the front of the headstone?'. In that case, yes: the front part of the headstone is the part facing the grave, so if you are standing on the grave side of the headstone you'll be able to read the front.
