Underworld Headstones

"If the headstone is upright, it means the person is still here in town. If it's tipped over, it means their soul has gone on to a better place, okay? Happy person, tippy stone. If it's cracked... Well, that's bad."

- Cruella De Vil

On-Screen Notes

 * Underworld Headstones are featured in the title card for "Labor of Love".
 * Hercules' headstone reads HERCVLES. On stone inscriptions in Ancient Rome, the U/V letters were both written like the letter V. This is because Latin did not originally have separate letters V and U. Instead, the letter V represented both, and could be pronounced as a consonant like "w" (as in "well") or as a vowel like "oo" (as in "good"). Interestingly, "Hercules" is the name used in Roman mythology, while Greek Mythology uses the name Heracles.
