Can anyone please tell me what the LHS at the top of this marker stands for?

Thank you

Originally thought it was an LHS, but now thinking it is IHS, which I have found information on. Let me know if I am wrong other wise going with IHS.
Thanks again

This is a very common symbol in Catholic Cemeteries, and throughout the Catholic Church.

It's Greek for Jesus and/or The Holy Name of Jesus.

Thank you

The letters IHS form the monogram of His holy name; they are derived from the Greek six-letter word for Jesus, thus the first three letters are; Iota, Eta, Sigma,so the monogram should not be used with periods after the letters. From The Catholic Encyclopedia. It is likely this person is a Father of the Church, of Byzantine rites.jenny

Most likely (from Wikipedia)

A common Christogram based on the first three letters of "Jesus" in Greek (Ίησους, in Greek capitals ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, or ΙΗϹΟΥϹ using lunate sigmas, semi-Latinized IHSOVS).
