Which term refers to a cemetery monument in which the die is wider than it is tall?

• A. Horizontal tablet
• B. Lawncrypt
• C. Lid
• D. Inner panels

Answer: (A)

Think about how cemetery monuments are described by their shape and orientation. The die is the vertical face of a monument, the part that would stand tall if the marker is upright. When the design presents width across the grave rather than height, the marker is described as a horizontal tablet. It’s a flat, wide marker that lies low—often flush with the ground or on a low base—rather than rising tall. That distinguishes it from upright forms.

Other options refer to different things: a lawncrypt is an above-ground burial unit set in the lawn, not a flat marker; a lid is the top of a casket; inner panels are parts inside a monument or casket. So the term for a cemetery monument whose die is wider than it is tall is a horizontal tablet.
