As seen in this photo, there is a bench infront of a grave. A bench placed in front of a grave often serves as a symbol of remembrance, reflection, and a place for loved ones to sit and pay their respects to the deceased. The bench provides a convenient and comforting spot for visitors to spend some time in quiet contemplation, prayer, or conversation with those who have passed on. It may symbolize an invitation for remembrance, and a token of love and devotion for and from the family members.
