Stone Type
slate
Border
Ideally, there was a border when the stone was new and it appears there were illustrated side panels.
Remark
This stone has suffered significant damage during its years. Whether from the period prior to its installation in the granite frame or since, time and the environment have increased their contamination and exacted their price by reducing the intelligibility of the artwork. The artwork that is decipherable appears to denote an arch figure under which is a dome with a flame sprouting from its apex.

readable with difficulty, broken images or writing

heavy incursion
Buried among fellow family members
