There are oval raised inscription panels on the north and south sides, a recessed panel with a partially shrouded funereal urn on the west side, and a recessed panel with a tree portrait on the east side. The top is finished with domical coping and it has a moulded plinth. The monument stands on a stone base, which was formerly enclosed by a railing. The north side is inscribed in memory of John Organ, who died in 1826.
