Eternity, connection, and longevity are all represented by this symbol.
The tree represents life and eternity. It is the link between the underworld and the skies. Tree symbolism has been discovered on gravestones dating back to ancient times. Muslims place trees on graves to make the deceased feel closer to their god. The baobab tree is known as the “tree of life” in Africa. To keep their sages tied to the society, they buried them in baobab trees. They didn’t want to bury their sages underground because it would destroy their knowledge, so they buried them in the world’s trees. Longevity is also symbolized by trees on gravestones.
