Mr. Bahrampour's headstone is in a newer section of this historic cemetery, near the back. It is made of gray, granite, with a nine-pointed star that has a circle inside of it. The star is a symbol of the Bahá'í Faith, and there are other practitioners of that faith buried in this section. Mr. Bahrampour's personal dates flank the star, and the inscription is below it, including a Bahá'í prayer:
