Note: Benjamin's and Daphna's stones were originally mounted on a single base (they are now on the ground resting against the base), with a stone arch spanning the 2 stones. There are other stones of similar design in the cemetery and in every case, the arch bears the words, "FATHER" and "MOTHER". The arch is lying face down on the ground so cannot tell. There are 2 smaller stones beside the monument in the same plot:
