Geri, I think you can get a memorial stone and place it in any cemetery that will accept it. I think that you have to explain why you do not know where he is buried.After all a stone is something that says "Remember me. " more than it says, "Here is buried some musty bones."

Jess you proved that to me with my gg grandfather John Simpson's Revolutionary War stone. It is what is on top of the ground, not what is beneath it, that keeps the memory alive.
