    It seems to be used or suggested to be used for people's birthplace,
    place of death etc, locations of other memorials etc according to

            <br>
            I understand tomb/ tombstone issue; I was just pointing out
            that the<br>
            plugin provides continuation to a deprecated tag.<br>
            <br>
            To be able to map several people on a tombstone/ memorial, I
            would think<br>
            that a relation type=memorial would be an option, with as
            many people as<br>
            needed in it. This would help with World War 1 and 2 (spoken
            from a<br>
            European perspective) memorials which can have too many
            names on them to<br>
            fit in the inscription field. It would also make it possible
            to link<br>
            individuals to their wikidata/ wikipedia. It would also
            still allow for<br>
            the use of the relation type=person. I think it would be
            better than<br>
            name=, alt_name=, alt_name2= etc.<br>
            <br>
            It was pointed out to me that it might also be useful for
            benches with<br>
            little memorial plaques on them.<br>
            <br>
            Does that make sense? It would still only be one node for
            the tombstone<br>
            or a way for the larger memorial. Is that technically
            possible?<br>
