What type of cemetery marker has a face at an angle greater than 45 degrees but less than 90 degrees to the terrain?

A slant marker is designed with a face that is angled greater than 45 degrees but less than 90 degrees relative to the ground. This unique angle allows the marker to be easily readable while also providing a visually appealing presentation. Slant markers stand out in a cemetery setting due to their inclined surface, which helps them capture light and detail, enhancing their visibility and prominence.

In contrast, a flat marker is set level with the ground, making it less visible from a distance. A vertical marker stands upright at a 90-degree angle to the terrain, and while it does provide a traditional look, it lacks the slant that gives clarity and aesthetic appeal to a slant marker. A ledger marker typically covers a larger area and is often flush with the ground or slightly raised, serving a different purpose in marking grave sites and is not characterized by the specific angle relevant to slant markers.
