Graveside markers are objects placed at the head or foot of a grave to identify the person buried there. They can be made from various materials, such as stone, metal, or wood, and often include the deceased's name, birth and death dates, and sometimes a personal message or symbol. These markers serve as a way for family and friends to remember and honor their loved ones. In addition to traditional headstones, graveside markers can also include plaques, crosses, or urns for cremated remains. Some cemeteries allow for more personalized markers, reflecting the individual's life, interests, or beliefs. These markers play an essential role in commemorating the deceased and providing a place for reflection.
