Head Stone (find, family tree, public, cemetery)

Would anyone know what type of engraving this is, and would it pertain to a certain time period?

Almost looks like someone took metal house letters and pressed them into wet cement to make that.

I agree with bustaduke. In the photo it looks like cast concrete. Is it?

Thats what it looks like to me too. I've never seen one like that before.

I only have a picture, the cemetery is in Garland Arkansas.

Looks like they opted for the economy model. Not even sure it's a stone but concrete.

Is this i a family cemetery or a public one?

Looks to be a concrete stepping stone from a local Garden Center with metal letters nailed onto it. If it is then it's not more than 30-40 years old.
Look at the left side of this picture.

I thought that the letters looked to be attached too.

I have Abbotts in my family tree (Culpeper, VA). Wonder if it's a cousin.

I found the name of the cemetery. It's Avant Cemetery in Arkansas. I guess the best way to find out is to contact the cemetery. Thanks everyone.
