Reading this I thought it was interesting to note that the coffin cost $40, the stone cost $150, yet the labor for hauling the stone was $1.50 and the labor for installing it was only $1. Nothing was mentioned about the funeral home cost. At the same time, the lawyer was paid more times and much more money than the doctor, yet neither came close to what the stone cost. I guess if there's a moral to this story, it was probably most profitable to be a stonemason! Jill
