The burial place is marked with a tombstone. The tombstone (mecca) is installed 11 months after the funeral. The inscription on the mecca contains the engraved Hebrew name of the deceased, the Hebrew name of his father, the date of death according to the Jewish calendar. The symbols are placed on the top of the Jewish tombstones. In addition to the six-pointed Star of David and the seven-armed candlestick (menorah - memory) or three-armed, five-armed candlesticks, we can find, for example, a sad willow, a pitcher placed in a bowl, hearts, deer, lions, a feathered hand, two hands connected with thumbs and forefingers crown… It is an illustration of the social and religious position of the deceased. The mystery of identifying Hebrew inscriptions on tombstones is compounded by the fact that Hebrew does not recognize capital letters and numbers are expressed in letters, where the 'numerical alphabet' is distinguished by a multiple of ten. Letters denoting numbers are marked with a dot at the top. But it can be said that all the tombstones have in common the inscription נצב″×” n– tihje nafšo / and crura bicror ha-chajim which we translate “Be his / her soul bound in the bond of life. Halacha also speaks of the fact that the Jewish cemetery is what is underground, and that man is earthly dust and is transformed into dust underground. Tombstones are also part of this transformation. If the tombstone falls naturally, it begins to disintegrate, subject to weather changes. For together with the earth, when the tombstone was lifted, it could also move the grave and part of the remains buried - and thus break their holy peace. the tombstones in the first half of the 19th century are made of sandstone, the tombstones from the turn of the century to the Second World War are already made of precious stone made of polished Swedish granite, Italian white marble, syenite, limestone or artificial stone.
