More Objects without Christian Imagery?

I know.
A large majority of the population have grown up around Christian religion.
Lot's of graveyards and cemeteries have crosses and such.
But, i think that on a fantasy game, finding a tombstone with a cross, may not be completely immersion breaking, but the lack of religious, irl and "fantasy", symbols is kinda sad.

Right now the only elevated tombstone, has an cross on it.
Maybe make so that we can choose which symbol if any, will be put on there.

I would suggest a research on various cultures and religions tombstones, crypts and mausoleums, and see what they look like.
And of course, using those as inspiration to create new ones, somethings that doesn't have any IRL bases, like we have 4 standing stone crosses and as far as i saw, no other option besides a squareretangle tombstone.

Would be nice to see some generic things like some dedicated to the Sun, others to the Moon and such.

Maybe even some with Arcane and Occultism symbols.

Point is, just asking to not have the base DA be so heavily Christian themed on religiouscrypttemplecemetery assets, i guess.

Even before Christians adopted the cross as a symbol, the Druids of ancient Celtic cultures used the same symbol. Druids cut the limbs off large oak trees, leaving only side branches so that the tree formed a living cross.

It was actually a pagan symbol of fertility pre-Christianity

I understand what you say! But the Celtic didn't make them of Stonework for tombs.
There are a different in the symbolism made.
If we've got Celtic crosses, in spots that aren't Tombs and Graveyeards, it would make more sense.
But no, right now, all the symbols on graves feel christian themed.
And yes i know, i think it's in Scottland, there were a certain cross, that were used in graveyeards specially on graves of "Important people"
I would just like to see more symbols and stuff from other cultures and faiths represented.
Specially, funny enough, fantasyunrealistic ones, inspired by the hundreds of media and books we've have.
