Ooof, unfortunately not. The thee ‘a’s all look quite a bit different from one another, so this is likely hand drawn lettering.
Hello, this appears to be a mixture of various Condensed and Modified Roman stencil press alphabets—both ScotchKut and PALL—with a hand drawn sans-serif alphabet used for the lettering in the name. It looks like the lowercase may have been based on Helvetica, though somewhat condensed with elongated vertical strokes to give it the same height as the capitals.

Hi Chris, this is a custom font by WLC Monuments in Ontario, Canada. I believe they call it Roman Handtooled Condensed.

Hello Kim, this is a Monu-Cad software font named Flintstone.

Good evening, this is a font based on either English 111 Vivace, or Shelley Script Allegro. These are two print industry fonts that have the same basic letter shapes. However, what you have there is a bit bolder, so it has either been modified by the engraver, or is another version of one of the two fonts, perhaps in some monument design or sign making software.
Hello CJ, this is a version of Modified Roman Raised. Unfortunately, I am not sure of the exact version. In the image it appears that there is a gap in the 9 where it would normally connect back in on itself and I am not aware of any versions of the font, either digital or any old plastic alphabets that have this feature.
The closest font I am aware of is this one, available here in the shop, but it will likely take some modifications to match what you have there exactly: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-cutrite-modified-roman-raised/

Hello Les, this is all custom hand drawn lettering. If you would like help matching it feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Ben, this is custom lettering. During the 1960s (and even maybe a little earlier), this style was promoted by some designers like Robert Young as a “Modified” or “Free Style” Classic Roman, and was influenced by memorial lettering used in Germany and Europe.
Let me know if you would like help matching it and would like to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service.
Hi Andy, this is Monu-Cad’s “Helvetica Light”, which is a re-drawn version of Helvetica Bold that has been squeezed to be a condensed version of the font.
Feel free to use the Inscription Matching Service if you would like help matching it.
