ABSTRACT:
A temporary gravesite marker for use in identifying a gravesite until a permanent gravestone is available includes a marker tablet which has a generally rectangular solid form with an upper surface to be marked with alphanumeric characters providing information regarding the deceased. The marker tablet is fabricated from a durable material and includes an upper surface and a substantially parallel bottom surface, both of which are substantially flat. The preferred marker tablet has a two-to-one (2:1) aspect ratio and measures 5½ inches by 11 inches with a 1 1/16 inch thickness. The density of the material selected, based upon the overall volume, yields a weight for the marker tablet of approximately ten pounds. The alphanumeric characters are inscribed into the upper surface of the marker tablet by means of a prepared stencil and by sandblasting. The information added to the marker tablet in order to create the temporary gravesite marker is designed so as to simulate the information which will be contained as part of the permanent gravestone.
