The use of cast iron and other metals for tombstones dates well back into the 19th century. I have a page of cast
iron types on my other website. Click the link below >>>
IRON TOMBSTONES & GRAVE "COVERS"
This page will show other metal markers & monuments, some of which I imagine were quite expensive.

The above 2 pictures are of monuments made entirely of metal albeit hollow within. The
lower view is one end of the Delaney monument. The 4 pictures below show two other sides and the 4 metal plates
bolted to the sides. These are excellent examples of early craftmanship as well as a beautiful and long-lasting tributes
to loved ones.
