What to do with grave marker?

My mum and dad didn't have much, but I still have dad's little bag of crown green bowls and mum's cut glass fruit bowl, because I know how much these meant to them.

I'll never use the bowls myself, but they remind me of the many happy hours dad spent on the bowling green when he was fit and healthy.  The fruit bowl is worth very little in monetary terms, but is priceless to me because of the value my mum placed on it.

I just put my parents grave marker in a quiet corner of my garden.

My Mum and Dad's are still there just below the headstone. They were nice small markers with a brass name plate so I left them on the graveside.

Once the headstone was in place there was no sign of the marker. I assumed the stonemason disposed of it.

If it's wooden with a metal plaque, maybe you could remove the plaque and dispose of the wooden part?

In years to come, it might be something his descendants would want to keep. It's the kind of thing that, with the passage of time, you could wish you had kept for someone else, if not yourself.
