Abstract
A grave marker having a base, a marker, and a chamber for displaying pictures, photographs, or the like. The chamber is a hollow tube, preferably cylindrical in shape. Within the chamber is mounted the picture. The picture can be viewed by an observer through an eyepiece set into the wall of the chamber. Ilumination is provided through the ends of the tubular chamber. Since sunlight does not directly strike the picture, deterioration of the picture is minimized.
