Abstract: A low cost, repairable memorial marker for marking a gravesite. The marker is created from a top sheet of bronze and a mating bottom sheet of bronze that are formed individually via a sheet metal forming process into the desired shape for the marker and then filled with castable filler material and welded together. Selected internal elements, such as storage compartments and bolt receiving slugs, are molded into the top and bottom sheets when they are formed, and selected external elements, such as nameplates and decorative elements, are created and secured to the top sheet after the top and bottom sheets are secured together. The marker is mounted on a base and the entire unit is installed at the gravesite.
