Several of my relatives are buried in an older cemetery which is no longer in use. Since three were about 15, would have been pretty expensive to purchase markers. I made a concrete form from 2X4's and filled the forms with ready=mix concrete (you can do this at home) I purchased some stainless steel plate 1/8 inch thick and had it cut into pieces about 5" X 8", I had the plates engraved with name, dob and death date. Stainless has to be engraved with a rotary cutter, which many engravers have. I drilled holes in each corner, and placed stainless machine screws in the plate. The plates were attached to the concrete while it was still wet. Worked out real well. The markers cost me about $7.00 each. Stainless steel will last forever.
