Here are the relevant details.

===============================================
At the top: Here is buried a dear pair.
==============================================

David:

DAVID MORDECHAI son of Aharon the Levite

20 Adar 5678
-----------------------------------------------
Mordechai is a Biblical name, from the Book of Esther.

Aharon is Aaron.

The deceased and his father were Levites, descended from the biblical tribe of Levi; this tribe had special significance and religious duties. This is a designation passed from father to son.

The first letters of the first three words on the third line spell out David. The first letters of the five words on the fourth line spell out Mordechai.
==========================================

Rosa:

REYZEL daughter of Yisrael.

23 Sivan 5658
--------------------------------------------

Reyzel is Yiddish for little rose. Yisrael is Israel.

==============================================
At the bottom: May their souls be bound up in the bond of life.
================================================

The remainder of the text consists of many lines of flowery words of praise. If you need these translated, let me know, and I'll do my best.
