In 19th and early 20th century America, were tombstones unique for every individual, or were there generic ones made as well?

I'm asking because my father owns a farm and has an old tombstone that his family acquired when they bought the farm in 1950's. He didn't know the history of it, but he thinks that it belonged to one of the settlers from the 1850's. Any information would be appreciated.
