WHAT IS A HEADSTONE

A headstone, tombstone, or gravestone is a stele or marker, usually stone, that
is placed over a grave. They are traditional for burials in the Christian,
Jewish and Muslim religions, among others. In most cases they have the
deceased’s name, date of birth, and date of death inscribed on them, along with
a personal message, or prayer, but they may contain pieces of funerary art,
especially details in stone relief. In many parts of Europe insetting a
photograph of the deceased in a frame is very common


HEADSTONE USE

The stele (plural stelae), as it is called in an archaeological context, is one
of the oldest forms of funerary art. Originally, a tombstone was the stone lid
of a stone coffin, or the coffin itself, and a gravestone was the stone slab
that was laid over a grave. Now all three terms are also used for markers placed
at the head of the grave. Some graves in the 18th century also contained
footstones to demarcate the foot end of the grave. This sometimes developed into
full kerb sets that marked the whole perimeter of the grave. Footstones were
rarely annotated with more than the deceased’s initials and year of death, and
sometimes a memorial mason and plot reference number. Many cemeteries and
churchyards have removed those extra stones to ease grass cutting by machine
mower. Note that in some UK cemeteries the principal, and indeed only, marker is
placed at the foot of the grave.

Owing to soil movement and Downhill creep on gentle slopes, older headstones and
footstones can often be found tilted at an angle. Over time, this movement can
result in the stones being sited several metres away from their original
location.

Graves, and any related memorials are a focus for mourning and remembrance. The
names of relatives are often added to a gravestone over the years, so that one
marker may chronicle the passing of an entire family spread over decades. Since
gravestones and a plot in a cemetery or churchyard cost money, they are also a
symbol of wealth or prominence in a community. Some gravestones were even
commissioned and erected to their own memory by people who were still living, as
a testament to their wealth and status. In a Christian context, the very wealthy
often erected elaborate memorials within churches rather than having simply
external gravestones. Crematoria frequently offer similar alternatives to
families who do not have a grave to mark, but who want a focus for their
mourning and for remembrance. Carved or cast commemorative plaques inside the
crematorium for example may serve this purpose.


HEADSTONE MATERIAL

A cemetery may follow national codes of practice or independently prescribe the
size and use of certain materials, especially in a conservation area. Some may
limit the placing of a wooden memorial to six months after burial, after which a
more permanent memorial must be placed. Others may require stones of a certain
shape or position to facilitate grass-cutting. Headstones of granite, marble and
other kinds of stoneare usually created, installed, and repaired by monumental
masons. Cemeteries require regular inspection and maintenance, as stones may
settle, topple and, on rare occasions, fall and injure people or graves may
simply become overgrown and their markers lost or vandalised.

Restoration is a specialized job for a monumental mason. Even overgrowth removal
requires care to avoid damaging the carving. For example, ivy should only be cut
at the base roots and left to naturally die off, never pulled off forcefully.
Many materials have been used as markers.

Fieldstones. The earliest markers for graves were natural fieldstone, some
unmarked and others decorated or incised using a metal awl. Typical motifs for
the carving included a symbol and the deceased’s name and age.
Granite. Granite is a hard stone and requires skill to carve by hand. Modern
methods of carving include using computer-controlled rotary bits and
sandblasting over a rubber stencil. Leaving the letters, numbers and emblems
exposed on the stone, the blaster can create virtually any kind of artwork or
epitaph.
Marble and limestone. Both limestone and marble take carving well. Marble is a
recrystallised form of limestone. The mild acid in rainwater can slowly dissolve
marble and limestone over time, which can make inscriptions unreadable. Portland
stone was a type of limestone commonly used in England—after weathering,
fossiliferous deposits tend to appear on the surface. Marble became popular from
the early 19th century, though its extra cost limited its appeal.
Sandstone. Sandstone is durable, yet soft enough to carve easily. Some sandstone
markers are so well preserved that individual chisel marks are discernible,
while others have delaminated and crumbled to dust. Delamination occurs when
moisture gets between the layers of the sandstone. As it freezes and expands the
layers flake off. In the 17th century, sandstone replaced field stones in
Colonial America. Yorkstone was a common sandstone material used in England.
Slate. Slate can have a pleasing texture but is slightly porous and prone to
delamination. It takes lettering well, often highlighted with white paint or
gilding.


HEADSTONE INSCRIPTIONS

Markers sometimes bear inscriptions. The information on the headstone generally
includes the name of the deceased and their date of birth and death. Such
information can be useful to genealogists and local historians. Larger
cemeteries may require a discreet reference code as well to help accurately fix
the location for maintenance. The cemetery owner, church, or, as in the UK,
national guidelines might encourage the use of ‘tasteful’ and accurate wording
in inscriptions. The placement of inscriptions is traditionally placed on the
forward-facing side of the memorial but can also be seen in some cases on the
reverse and around the edges of the stone itself. Some families request that an
inscription be made on the portion of the memorial that will be underground.
