This is a technical drawing specification document for upright marble headstones and markers issued by the National Cemetery Administration under the Memorial Programs Service. The drawing, designated A-U1-1 and dated August 14, 2019, provides detailed specifications for government headstones and markers used in federal cemeteries.

The document specifies dimensions of 13" x 42" x 4" for upright marble headstones with a 24" width at the base. Key design features include a 1/4" edge radius on top and side edges, a 14 1/2" radius curved element, and inscription area limits marked by ground lines that contractors must not inscribe. The drawing includes multiple standard headstone configurations shown in plan and sectional views, with detailed placement information for inscriptions, section and grave numbers on the rear face, and a typical front face example featuring a cross symbol and sample text for a deceased service member (MSGT Robert C. Williamson, US Army, World War II). The specification establishes standards for marble material quality, finish requirements, and proper alignment of all inscribed elements relative to ground level. This is a technical reference document prepared by Planate Management Group for use by contractors producing government headstones and markers.
