Marble
Marble was an important second choice as a cemetery monument material after granite. Marble also comes in a wide range of quality, some are proving to be quite permanent, some not. Acid rain has caused severe damage to the poorer grades of marble. Many of the sculptures atop monuments are carved in marble.
