A five-pointed star is symbolic of the life of Christ and may also represent the five wounds of Christ.

Five-pointed pentagram star - This star is drawn with one stroke of the pen. Its exact origin is unknown, and its meaning has changed throughout the ages. The pre-Christian Celtic priests called it the witch's foot. It is also called Solomon's Seal and was known in the Middle Ages as the goblin's cross. Today the symbol is a favorite among graffiti artists and so-called demonology practitioners. Like the pentagon, it is believed to have protective powers against evil. In Wicca beliefs, it represents protection against demons and a symbol of safety. The ancient Babylonians used the symbol as a magic charm. The five-pointed pentagram star represents the five senses. To the Jews, it represents the five mosaic books. This symbol has also been adopted by Masonic organizations (e.g., the Eastern Star).

Looks like typeface for a printing press. Maybe they printed funeral announcements/bulletins with a pentagram on them?

May have been used as a punch to put the mark onto a brass coffin plate or the coffin itself.

I agree; it looks like a typeface, and it makes sense it would be used on bulletins, etc. for the funeral home. Interesting find, Breezie
