Sprig of Acacia 

Represents the germ of a new and regenerated life of the soul.

A Sprig of Acacia is a piece cut off of an Acacia shrub or tree.

A Sprig of Acacia is placed in the Coffin of a Freemason when he is to be buried.

When Wilmington Lodge No. 804 does a Masonic Funeral we cut a few Sprigs of Acacia from the evergreen bush located at the SW corner of the Wilmington Masonic Hall.
