This is Condensed Roman Semi-Sans lettering. The metal Spacerite letters were likely used, and then most of the serifs were removed by the stencil cutter.
There is a version of a Condensed Roman Semi-Sans font in the MLC Font Shop, but it will not match this exactly, and would need to be modified in order to match more closely. Because the serifs were removed by hand, the specific serifs that were removed or left on varies from stone to stone. It also appears that the stencil cutter made the characters a little bolder while cutting.
Hi Scott, this looks like hand drawn lettering. The duplicate characters appear to have some variation.
Yes, this is a print industry version of the Classic Roman alphabet by Monotype, named Classic Roman.
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/
