Chattanooga National Cemetery does not have cenotaphs. It has actual burials. If there is a stone in Chattanooga National Cemetery, and remains are not in a grave there, it is in error, not a cenotaph. It was a custom in the post Civil War era to erect a memorial stone in the hometown cemetery in memory of a soldier. Also, their name may have been placed on a monument or family monument.
