Proper placement of suffix while using the first name only

Ordering a gravestone and want to make sure the suffix is used correctly. While the last name is on the bottom to be shared by spouse, I need to put Edward H. II up top. The proper name is Edward H. Jones II.


It does seem odd to have the numeric suffix without the surname.

One way around the problem is to move the surname: "Edward H Jones II and his wife Clarabel", which is a fairly standard headstone inscription.

John Edward Cooper

Or: repeat the surname, which is also common.
