I seem to recall that most cemeteries place markers, so that they know who is buried where. They are small, and don't usually have much info - just a reference number or the person's intials - each is different. Some place them at frequent intervals, others, less often.

Then, the deceased's relatives might place their own stone.

Hence, two stones.

No, because it's part of the cemetery's location system.
