Loveland Cemetery Loveland Colorado Part Two

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take.


The 47-acre site consists of two facilities: Loveland Burial Park and Lakeside Cemetery. The two facilities are physically divided by Colorado State Highway 287. As a result of its central location, the cemetery and burial park are easily accessible to the community.






Woodmen of the World Headstones Woodmen of the World was a fraternal benefit society founded in the late 1800's. One of the benefits for members was a distinctive headstone, usually in the form of a tree stump.  The arms of the tree shows the age of the person.  Longer arms means longevity.

  








Clasped Hands," "Hands Together," and "Shaking Hands" are phrases used to describe the image.  This symbol has a few accepted meanings. A heavenly welcome, an earthly farewell, simple unity, or friendship.

If you look a little more closely, you will notice the sleeve attached to one hand is feminine, and the sleeve attached to the other hand is masculine. These hands, carved in this way, symbolize holy matrimony.
