Headstone

A headstone is a marker placed at a burial site to identify and honor the deceased. Typically made of stone such as granite or marble, it bears essential information like the person's name, birth and death dates, and sometimes a personal message or symbol. Headstones serve as a respectful memorial, helping loved ones remember and locate the grave, and often reflect the individual's personality, beliefs, or life story. They have been used for centuries across cultures and are an important tradition in marking final resting places.
