memorial tablet
Inscribed stone remembrance
A memorial tablet is a flat slab—typically stone, bronze, or brass—mounted on a wall or set into the ground to commemorate a person, event, or place.
Churches, public buildings, and historic sites commonly display them: A memorial tablet near the entrance honors the church's founding members.
Distinguished from freestanding monuments by being affixed to a surface.
