Which term describes the small marker placed above ground that marks a grave?

• A. Bevel top marker
• B. Body lining
• C. Cap
• D. Block

Answer: (A)

This term refers to a small gravemarker placed above ground to mark a grave: a bevel top marker is a low-profile stone with a beveled top edge designed to sit above ground and display inscriptions. The bevel helps water run off and creates a distinct, finished silhouette in grassy cemeteries. It’s different from a block, which is a larger, heavier stone used as a base or standalone monument, and from a cap or body lining, which pertain to casket components rather than grave markers. So the bevel top marker is the specific term for this type of small above-ground grave marker.
