This is a font in the Monu-Cad software that they named European. It is based on an old plastic stencil-press alphabet produced in the 1980s by a German company named Scheibenbogen.
It’s hard to tell from the image, but I believe this is hand-drawn lettering. There seems to be some variation from letter to letter.
Hello, this was likely hand-drawn. This style of “bowed-out” vertical strokes became somewhat popular in the 1930s and 40s, but has become very rare since that time. The Drafting Shoppe has a somewhat similar font name Roman Arc available for the Gerber system, but it does not match what is pictured here exactly.

Hello Torrey, this is a font in Cochran’s software simply named Script. There is also a Gerber version available from the Drafting Shoppe.
Hello, unfortunately I am still not seeing an image. It’s possible the image is too large and the upload is timing out or not completing before you are posting.
Hello, this is a font named Titus Medium in the Gerber Omega software. Unfortunately, it is the only known digital version of the font that is currently available.
Hello, this is a font in the Gerber software named Casualee Cursive Connected. It is the only digital version available that I am aware of, though it is likely based on an old print industry font.
Hello Lance, I have run into this version of Times New Roman several times, but I am unsure of its origins. I believe it is a monument industry version and not something that is available from any online font retailers. It is very similar to a version that is available in the Gerber Omega software (Times New Roman – GSP Acct AK Rev A), having the same thickness of serif and boldness in weight, but the Gerber version is much more condensed.
Hello, this is all hand-drawn lettering, and will need to be custom matched. If the family is not too particular, there is a font available in the MLC Font Shop that is similar: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/mlc-edward-r-peterson-frosted-bar/
The biggest difference will be in the numbers. If the family would like to match it more closely and you would like some help, feel free to use the MLC Inscription Matching Service: https://www.monumentletteringcenter.com/product/cemetery-inscription-matching-service/
