This is an early monument where the organizational emblem was added to a regular but still impressive grave marker. Topped by an urn and a shroud, the family initial is on the cap on each side, and the family name, "Friedlander", is down low on the reverse. Note the Hebrew inscription directly above: Translations are welcomed!

There is calla lily decoration just under the cap, and below the Woodmen of the World inscription is:
