Zoning Out ~ The Grave Marker:  Grave markers convey a message of permanence. They are usually made of granite, marble, or bronze, occasionally in combination, which is the case here. Their inscriptions record information about the person whose remains are out of sight in the burial zone. At a minimum, it contains the name of the deceased plus years of birth and death. This is a flat marker. Southern Palms Memorial Gardens. [2012]
