The humble gravestone is more important than you might think, for those who have been given no permanent memorial are often overlooked, figuratively becoming ‘lost’. The omission of a monument or headstone does not equate to the fact the person interred is not worthy of being commemorated. Often a simple lack of funds is the case. Sometimes there is a cultural or ‘celebrity’ motivation. The unmarked plots due to financial limitations are probably the saddest, those who lay below can go completely unnoticed.
