While we get to see the marker for Gilraen's passing, where is the similar stone for Arathorn II, Aragorn's father? Was his body lost when he was shot in the eye by orcs, and so there was nothing to bury? Or did PJ want to show us something by having Aragorn at his mother's grave marker that couldn't have been done with both or just his father's gravestone?

Was Gilraen, though shown only as a white stone, to be opposite Aragorn's stepfather, Elrond? We then can see both his human and elvish heritage, and the pros and cons of each side.

Just a thought.
