Words on a gravestone can wear off due to natural weathering processes like exposure to sunlight, rain, wind, and temperature changes. Over time, these conditions can deteriorate the material of the gravestone and cause the words to fade or become illegible. Additionally, factors like pollution and air quality can also contribute to the wearing off of words on a gravestone.

Hi there. A gravestone is simply a memorial that is placed on the grave that is made of stone. Sometimes it is called a headstone or a grave marker.
Possibly if the stone is not absorbent.
The prices of gravestones vary based on the material used in making the gravestone, the size of the gravestones and of course the inscriptions that are engraved into the stone. I suggest that you contact a local memorial company to get the specific prices of the stone of your choice.

The small particles of stone that are weathered away from the surface of a gravestone are typically carried away by wind, water, or gravity. They may be dispersed in the surrounding environment, such as into nearby soil, water bodies, or transported downstream. Over time, these particles may undergo erosion and become part of sedimentary deposits or contribute to the formation of new geological formations.
If the gravestone is a carbonate rock like limestone the rain will eventually erode the stone away as rain water is slightly acidic. Old tombstone are often illegible because of this as all the raised lettering is washed away. Alternately if the rain seeps into any cracks and freezes the stone will split or pall.
