Funerary Hatchment for Charles Morris
On the wall of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Wikipedia defines a Funerary Hatchment as "a depiction within a black lozenge-shaped frame, generally on a black background, of a deceased's heraldic achievement, that is to say the escutcheon showing the arms, together with the crest and supporters of his family or person" and according to International Heraldry, "The word Hatchment is a corruption of the word Achievement." (Ach-ment -Ed) This source goes on to say that the dark background on the left and light background on the right meant that the man was married, and that the wife was still living at the time of his death. (Charles' wife Mary died four months after he did -Ed) The white cross on a blue background is the flag of Halifax. The Latin script translates roughly "Although it will finally come too late," whatever that means.
