I decided to remove a Fieldstone and replace it with a 4 X 8 X 16 solid Concrete Block I bury them half way in the Ground on End and Pack the Ground around them. The fellow maintaining the one cemetery says it sure makes it easier to Mow. I put a Sand and Gravel mix under them to bring them up to height. The fieldstone have no name on them anyhow. I saw this 5 years ago down in Kentucky where some of my wife's family are buried. If they are hit they can be straightened. They look nice. They all match. The Fieldstone you can hardly see and the mowers run over them Just an Idea. I am considering doing this on grave sites that have nothing but a Depression. And the block cost about $1.20 ea. Not Expensive to replace if hit and Broken. Also the Children's story is very poignant. No one should go unmarked. > > > Jack E.
