This actually a mill stone. Used in water or electric mills to grind wheat and corn.
Yes, there are a couple others in this cemetery. I think they make great viewing!
I also think I've used this photo before.

Hi Midge, Yes, it is either a straight-out milling grindstone or it is meant to resemble one. Would have been used for grain milling. Super interesting to see that in a cemetery - unless the person was a Miller who had that as a memorial headstone.
