ABSTRACT:
In a first aspect of the disclosure, a monument is shown having a movable element mounted in an opening therein for displaying information. The movable element may be partially or fully recessed in the opening but is constructed so as to be accessible for manual movement to change the information displayed. In a second aspect of the dislosure, a columbarium niche structure is shown having a movable element positioned behind an opening in a door. The movable element is preferably recessed so that no portion thereof extends beyond the front face of the door, but is constructed so as to be accessible for manual movement to change the information displayed. An adjustment system is provided for aligning the movable element with the door opening, and a bearing system is used to facillitate movement of the movable element. In a third aspect of the disclosure, grave markers, columbarium niches and monuments are shown which display both text information and imprinted images made by casting a shape, such as a body part of a deceased individual. In a fourth aspect of the disclosure, a flush mounted metallic grave marker displays summary information about a deceased individual and includes additional structure for displaying more detailed information which cannot be readily formed on the surface of the metallic marker.
