I don’t know what the rest means, but the crown with roses usually means an affiliation with the Church of England. Look up Rose in Heraldry and there are many articles on it.

She couldn’t tell me what the badge on his headstone symbolized. It’s a flower shape with the initials E, C, W, U, F in each of it’s five “petals.” There is a pentagon with a cross, a crown, and a small maltese cross in the center.

What does it mean?
