  Death's Head, Cherub, Urn and Willow
While the use of cherubs might have verged on heresy, since they are heavenly beings whose portrayal might lead to idolatry, the use of a more mortal and neutral symbol -- a death's head -- would have served as a graphic reminder of death and resurrection.
Cherubs reflect a stress on resurrection, while death's heads emphasize the mortality of man. The epitaphs that appear on the bottoms of many stones also add credence to this explanation of change in form over time.
The pattern is one of a long period of coexistence between cherubs and death's heads in the Boston center, and an increasingly more rapid eclipsing of death's heads by cherubs in direct proportion to distance, with a much shorter period of overlap.

 Cherub - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cherub (Hebrew כרוב, plural כרובים cherubim) is a supernatural entity mentioned several times in the Hebrew Bible of Tanakh, and in the New Testament in the Book of Revelation.
If there had been only one cherub, the people would have been misled and would have mistaken it for G-d's image, which was to be worshiped in the fashion of the heathen; or they might have assumed that the angel [represented by the figure] was also a deity and would thus have adopted a dualism.
According to Professor De Vaux, the word cherub may be related to the Babylonian word karabu (the Akkadian kuribu), meaning to be propitious or blessed—a name applied to spirits who served the gods as advisors and intermediaries (De Vaux, 1961).
