In a tiny little veterans section of Lake View Cemetery, I found a more diverse selection of the emblems of belief available for government headstones for veterans. All the available emblems are listed here.
The most common one that I see is described simply as a Christian Cross.
Sgt. Eddie Fields’ stone has the symbol for the United Methodist Church.
The Roberts selected the emblem for the Unitarian Church/Unitarian Universalist Association.
The emblem for the United Church of Christ tops Sgt. Yancey’s stone.
Cpl. Mack Crosby has the Episcopal Cross.
The Didios’ stone has a symbol designated as representing “Christian Church.”
The Nesbitts have a Star of David, representative of Judaism.

One of the most commonly recognized symbols of Judaism is the Star of David, a hexagram created by two overlapping triangles.

Some of you might remember when I found what might best be explained as a metal locket protecting a portrait on a tombstone. I haven’t seen another one since then until last weekend, when we were coming back from a trip to Michigan. We came across a cemetery filled with tombstones featuring portraits, and some of them had the metal casing with a flip-top cover. Some were broken:
Some were intact:
