MONUMENTS, MARKERS & BENCHES
​

Upright headstones, called “monuments,” are commonly used to both identify and memorialize the individual(s)buried within particular ground lots on a cemetery's grounds. Headstones that are flat against the ground are called “markers.” In some cemeteries, or sections of cemeteries, only flat markers are used in an effort to preserve the natural appearance of the landscape. Other grave identifiers include family monuments and memorial benches.
