Good afternoon, this is likely a hand-cut version. Possibly based on the metal Spacerite Modified Roman, but definitely made bolder by the stencil cutter. If you zoom in on the ‘E’s, and ‘1’s, and likely some other characters you can see differences in the serifs.
It will need to be custom matched. Feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service if you’d like any help with it.
Good afternoon, this is just Helvetica Condensed/Narrow Medium or Bold, but it has been modified to blast better at smaller sizes, and obviously they renamed it as well. The lowered crossbar on the A is the most noticeable difference, but also the crossbar on the 4 has been lowered as well. Likely any character that will have a small raised “island” when sandblasting has been modified. P, R, etc.
Hello Chris, this is custom lettering. If you would like help matching it, feel free to reach out about the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Unfortunately this is an unknown stencil font. Because the marker appears to be custom made in concrete, it is possible that a non-standard alphabet was used–perhaps even a cement marking alphabet.
Unfortunately, I do not know the name of this font, but I have matched it on occasion, and I can tell you that it is a custom monument industry font, likely created by a manufacturer—possibly Rock of Ages. It also usually contains a different version of the 9 with no serif, though I have seen this version once before as well.

This looks like the original Spacerite version of Modified Roman. It would have been hand cut so there may be variations from letter to letter, especially in the serifs.
Hi John, unfortunately, this is not something I’ve ever run into before. It does not look professionally designed, and is possibly a custom font.
Good morning, this is Times New Roman, though it looks like it has been slightly thickened up with a small stroke/outline added for better sandblasting.
This is an old metal Spacerite alphabet named Scriptural Art, originally designed by memorial designer Conrad Kenerson. However, the ‘T’ appears to have been replaced by the maker of this monument with one of their own design. There is a poorly drawn version available in the Monu-Cad software, but there are currently no other digital versions available.
