A gravestone is a piece of stone that marks where a person has been buried after they died. A cemetery usually has many gravestones. A gravestone often has a flat surface, and the name of the person who has died is carved into it. Often there is some writing about the person too.
In the military cemetery we saw, the gravestones were all alike.
