unreferenced date January 2009 The phrase unmarked grave has metaphor ical meaning in the context of cultures that mark cemetery burial sites . As a figure of speech , a common meaning of the term unmarked grave is consignment to oblivion , i.e., an ignominious end. A grave burial grave monument or headstone is a sign of respect and fondness, erected with the intention of commemorating and remembering a person. Historically, unmarked graves in an unintentional sense are usually done for financial reasons by families that are too poor to afford a headstone, though in more recent times this has been avoided partially because the standard of living in most countries have since improved and even in cases where the families still can t afford a headstone, one is usually donated from a family friend or other charitable organization.

Another John Belushi cenotaph gravestone was erected by his family, in a Chicago area cemetery at the Belushi family plot, where his parents are now buried. Similarly, when H.P.

History The earliest burials are recorded to have taken place in the 1740s following shortly after the first settlement of this area by Rhineland Palatinate Palatine Germans in the middle of the Eighteenth Century. These graves are noted for their intricately carved headstone s and footstone s which feature unique German Funeral funerary symbol ism and in many instances, German language archaic German text . The cemetery was also the location of the first buildings to house the Stillwater Presbyterian Church Stillwater, New Jersey Stillwater Presbyterian Church which in its early years was first a union church serving both the Lutheran and German Reformed faiths. It is presumed that a rudimentary church made of logs, dating from as early as 1745 to 1750, predated a 1771 structure built from local fieldstone. That structure, which had not been used since 1838 was razed in 1847 and the local fieldstone used to construct a wall along the cemetery s southern and western perimeter. A stone carved with the year 1771 &mdash believed to be the original cornerstone for the church&mdash was incorporated in the cemetery s gate.
