I’m familiar with ditto marks in documents:

But in a cemetery? I have to admit, this was a first for me..

    Now that is very odd! What was the point? They could have just put Died on top of one column and Age on top of the other instead of engraving all those quotation marks!

    I have to say that is a first for me too, and I have documented thousands of headstones. 🙂

      Thank you for stopping by! Glad to hear I wasn’t the only one who was surprised. I did a double-take when I first saw it.
