A headstone is a marker placed at the grave of a deceased person. It typically displays the person's name, date of birth, and date of death. Headstones can be made from various materials, including granite, marble, or bronze, and come in different shapes and sizes. They serve as a way to honor and remember the individual buried there. In many cultures, headstones are part of cemetery traditions and can include additional inscriptions, symbols, or images that reflect the person's life or beliefs. Some headstones may also feature religious symbols or personal mementos to commemorate the deceased's legacy.
