  • said marker further including an electrical power source in communication with said audio system for providing electrical power to drive said audio system, said audio system including solid-state electronic means for generating said information for audible broadcast;

    said electronic means in communication with manually operable switch means for initiating the audible broadcast;

    said electronic means further including binary counter means for outputting a digital signal at least in part determined by clock means for pulse rate input in communication with said counter means, said electronic means further including encoder means in communication with said counter means for receiving the digital signal from said counting means and for encoding of the digital signal, said counter means and said encoder means in communication with solid-state nonvolatile digital memory means for digitally reproducing previously stored information relevant to the identified remains;

    digital to analog converting means in communication with said solid-state nonvolatile digital memory means for converting the digitally reproduced previously stored information to analog voltage;

    said electronic means further including amplification means in communication with said digital to analog converting means for amplifying the analog voltage for driving speaker means in communication with said amplification means for audibly broadcasting information relevant to the identified remains.
