Abstract (en)
A cemetery headstone/monument intended to be anchored upright in or on a foundation includes a carved or hollowed-out portion (11) which functions as a display area. The hollowed portion may extend through the width of the headstone from the front face (19) to the rear face (7) 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 machenism (73) 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 suitable adapted to permit the non-permanent attachment of display devices (32,52) to the top and side surfaces (31,51) 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 (41,61) in the headstone. The top horizontal side of the headstone may have sloped edges to promote water runoff. A third embodiment of the invention provides for a headstone/monument wherein the storage and display area is defined by means of the removable assembly of vertical support members (72,86) detachably mounted to the top surface of the headstone/monument along with a top member (74,84) detachably mounted to the support members (72,86). <IMAGE>
