A Cenotaph is a cemetery marker erected for a person who is not buried there.
An example would be a sailor who was lost at sea.
The family wishes to memorialize him anyway, so they place a cenotaph in the family plot.

soil debris from old tombstones and will not damage the stone?
 ........from Hoosier Lines.
It works!
