Comments:
The sign tells about members of the Horowitz family and explains the meaning of the tombstones inscribed with the word “Galmud” (“lonely” or “solitary”).

The graves of the “Galmudim” (solitary individuals) in the cemetery were photographed on the same day and bear the inscription:
פ"נ גלמוד

[translation]
“P.N. Galmud” (Here lies a solitary person)
