A 'tombstone', also known as gravestone or headstone, is a marker typically made of stone or metal, placed over a grave to identify the person buried there. These markers often contain the deceased's name, birth and death dates, and sometimes a short personal message or a quote. They serve as a permanent tribute and a place for loved ones to pay their respects. The design, size, and material of tombstones can vary greatly depending on cultural, religious, and personal preferences. Historically, they also served to mark territorial boundaries in burial grounds.
