Semiotics analysis clarifies meanings by recognizing narrative in both written and visual media. The traditional tombstones in a region with varying climates serve as the visual texts for this study. The primary factor influencing the variations in gravestone materials is climate. The potential or impossibility of inscriptions on tombstones depends on the material used. Carcass stone offers a comparatively bigger area than brick, and rubble does not give the flat surface needed to create an inscription. Research problem of the current study is to determine how meaning is created in the various tombstone kinds found in the area based on their physical and content structures, context, and surrounding circumstances. Therefore, the goal of the research is to determine the various and varied semantic purposes that tombstones had during the Qajar and Pahlavi eras, the period under study. According to the findings of research and analyses, the tombstones have undergone changes in structure from one phenomenon to an emergent, and during two narratives processes, they present the audience with new meanings. While phenomenological narrative process, with its entanglement of materials, departs from the regular physical structure and employs narrative prostheses, transports the audience into space and time, the action narrative process of tombstones, with its relatively regular physical structure and specific content structure, informs the loss and death of an individual.
