German to English Other Other gravestones
I have no idea what field to put this question under.

Is there a name for this type of gravestone in English?

http://www.grabstein-e.de/kissensteine

"Seit 1990 erhalten diese Opfer von Nationalsozialismus und Krieg zunehmend Grabsteine durch die Kriegsgräberfürsorge. Diese einem einheitlichen Typ folgenden Grabsteine (in Form von Kissensteinen) werden als „Kriegsgrabsteine“ bezeichnet"

Thank you!
