My brother was off chasing the eclipse recently and ran across some impressive Tree Shaped Tombstones in very rural Indiana. Civil War vets, obviously.
Here's a long row in Cornettsville, IN. The one in front has either a generic shroud or perhaps a soldier's cloak hanging off the upper limb. And a very nice ruck sack and bed roll down at the base. Ready one supposes to be taken up again in The Next Life. There's also a musket but you can't see it well in this view.
On the other hand, here's the marker of a certain Jacob McCann in Plainville, IN. Nearly identical, note the pack and bed roll down and to the right.
Jacob still has someone putting flowers on his grave. Right down front below the canteen.
