A friend shared a FindAGrave memorial that included a picture of a stone that was erected in honor of his ancestor in the cemetery where the ancestor was buried. It’s not a tombstone. It’s a cenotaph. A tombstone is at the actual known burial site. A cenotaph is a stone erected in honor of someone other than the burial location or at an empty grave.
