The skull and cross bones was a frequently used funeral motif (even outside the world of poisons and pirates), usually referred to as "Memento Mori". While I'm not 100% on a strict translation, it essentially means "remember you will die". It was a way to remind people of the shortness of life, and that they should hold the time they have dear.
