Yes, as STEWARTS mentioned, this is a font named Jenson Medium. Unfortunately, it is currently only available in the Gerber software.
Hi Ryan, yes, this appears to be hand-drawn lettering, with some noticeable variation between characters like A, 2, and 9. I am not aware of any font that will match terribly closely without modification. You could start with a Common Gothic and make adjustments as needed.

This is a classic tuscan style font that has many variations, but I believe this to be a specific version named Roulette.
Hello, this is Monotype’s Clearface Bold, which differs from ITC Clearface Bold, and has a ‘J’ that does not drop below the baseline.
Hi Paul, this is the old metal Spacerite Old English alphabet, which would have either been hand-cut, or this is possibly a digital version. The 1’s are actually upside down, because the metal letters had a larger empty space below the number than above it, which is why they are lower than the other numbers.
I have created a digital version, which is available in the dfont shop. However, it appears the version in this photo is slightly bolder, so it may need to be given a slightly stroke/outline to match more closely: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-spacerite-old-english/
Hi Chris, I am not aware of the exact version of Bookman this is, though it appears to be a version of ITC Bookman Light with somewhat more condensed numbers, and the 5 does not have the serif at the top.
Due to both the style and the date on the memorial, this appears to either be a custom font or perhaps hand-drawn lettering.

Hi Torrey, this is a font currently only available in Cochran’s Memorial Designer software. It is named Chapel.
Feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service if you would like help matching it for a death date.
Hi Chad, this is a lettering style known as Free Form Roman. There are several versions available, but I believe this specific version may be a custom AICA association font, or is possibly the version that was available in the now abandoned Craftech memorial design software. Most versions contain “non-lining” numbers, which often extend above or below the baseline and cap-height.
If you would like help matching it, you may be interested in using the MLC Inscription Matching Service for this job.
