The image shows a gray granite memorial bench placed in a cemetery plot near a heart-shaped headstone and flat grave markers.
The object in the image is a cemetery lot marker (also known as a plot marker or survey disc).

What It Is Used For

• Plot Identification: These round, low-profile discs are installed flush with the ground so that lawnmowers can easily pass over them without causing damage.
• Mapping Grid: They correspond directly to the cemetery's official master map kept in the main office. They allow groundskeepers and surveyors to precisely locate and identify specific burial plots, section boundaries, or block intersections.
• Marking Unmarked Graves: They are frequently used to permanently identify gravesites that do not have a traditional raised headstone or vertical monument.

Materials and Finding Them

These markers are typically manufactured out of heavy-duty stainless steel, brass, or aluminum. Because they are designed to sit flush at the ground surface, they often get covered over by falling pine needles, leaves, dirt, or grass over time. Cemetery caretakers regularly look for them by gently probing the soil or using a metal detector to locate them when they become buried

• Material: Red or pink-toned granite (often referred to as North American Red or similar vibrant granite varieties).
• Style: A slant-face marker, which features a sloped front face that makes the text easier to read while standing or walking compared to a flat ground.
The image shows a row of three weathered, upright 19th-century marble or limestone gravestones set into a grassy cemetery grounds scattered with fallen autumn leaves.
• Left Marker: A taller, rectangular tablet headstone showing a diagonal crack and dark lichen or staining along the middle and base.
• Center Marker: A smaller, rounded-top (tablet and base) marker that is heavily worn and weathered, with the face nearly illegible.
• Right Marker: A taller, upright tablet headstone with a rounded or arched top that clearly reads "CORDELIA..." followed by "Wife of..." with the rest of the text faded or obscured.
The image shows a black granite upright headstone memorial for Charles L. (1956–2012) featuring a laser-etched portrait, a motorcycle engraving, and the quote "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."
 Note: It is tradition not to show the full name of non-famous people who passed on less than 50 years ago.
