This I found in the Shulhan Aruch of around 1500 AD:
"The body should be buried in the ground, preferably not in a completely
sealed coffin; see 362:1 and 363:4. The grave should be checked for three
days to make certain that the body is not still alive (394:3). "
This is a most practical advice and I doubt it is
nowadays applied.
I did not find any instruction on gravestone,
inscriptions or pictures.
Please check me out .

They were to those who prayed at the Tempel and listened to the Sermon
("Drasha") by Rabbiner Mark in German.

On the subject of pictures of the deceased on their gravestones:
Not having been previously to any Russian or Soviet cemeteries,
I first saw pictures of the deceased on their gravestones
in the Jewish cemetery in Czernowitz.
Compared to the old gravestones, either the traditional Jewish ones,
or those in Austrian style, the pictorial ones seem to me in very bad
taste,
and strictly against Jewish tradition which forbids graven images.
