Abstract:
A cemetery headstone/monument intended to be anchored upright in or on a foundation includes a carved or hollowed-out portion which functions as a display area. The hollowed portion may extend through the width of the headstone from the front face to the rear face thus creating a display window. The removed front and rear faces of the headstone may be replaced by a flat rigid material, preferably transparent in nature, so as to create a protective enclosure for the display area. A locking mechanism may be provided so as to secure the contents placed within the display area. A second embodiment of the invention provides for a headstone/monument suitably adapted to permit the non-permanent attachment of display devices To the top and side surfaces of the headstone. The display devices are detachably mounted to the headstone through the use of appropriate bolting means anchored into the headstone and by aligning complimentary holes located in the display device with the pre-drilled holes in the headstone. The top horizontal side of the headstone may have sloped edges to promote water runoff.
