Q: Who made grave markers?
Where those people only employed through one or a few places? Who were they? Did the style/handwriting/engravement match?
Did this confirm that Jesus could not have the official temple services (besides the gift of a wealthy tomb)?

A: We should remember that Jesus said, Let the dead bury the dead. So it does not seem He or His followers spent much time concerned about buriel techniques, places of tombs, cremation, etc. My research suggests that ancient Hebrews marked the areas where bodies had been buried with a white lyme coating on the rocks. Ultimately this would lead to inscriptions drawn in white on or near the buriel areas but most likely written in ancient Hebrew script. There should be inscriptions all over the place (although very subtle by now) in an area of ancient Hebrew tombs. If the inscriptions have not been found then neither have the ancient tombs. Keep looking they do exist.
