Click on the pic to see more. In the marble era, those narrow, square towers were common, or if you didn't have any money, a simple marble slab, like in the last pic.
When they started using granite, probably in the thirties, most of the stones looked like the three in the left in the seventh picture. Or maybe the Zuelsdorf stone. They came in various sizes. You can see some large granite stones in that first pic (one on the left, one on the right, and one just to the left of the tree). There's also this kind (http://www.kevcyn.net/galleries/galcem/gra-chi-0308-maude.jpg), which is smaller, and not uncommon.
And occasionally, we see the kind that is set into the ground. And the most common kind and size for recent graves (in my lifetime) is the kind in the grouping of three in that seventh pic.
