Abstract: An improved grave marker comprises an integral molded body of plastic-like material having an upright member carrying identifying indicia and having a generally horizontal apron extending outwardly from the upright member, the apron being provided with a flat upper surface. The outer periphery of the apron has a downwardly angled earth-engaging ramp which is crenellated to define alternating crenels and merlons. The merlons are provided with root channels passing downwardly therethrough. When the apron is imbedded in the earth with the flat upper surface at ground level, the grass roots of sod overlying the ramp grow downwardly through the root channels of the merlons and also grow outwardly over the outer periphery of the ramp, on all sides of the merlons, to solidly anchor the marker to earth and resist tipping thereof. The flat upper surface of the apron, which is positioned at ground level, provides a runway along which a lawnmower may roll to trim the grass growing above the ramp adjacent the runway.
