re: Civil War headstone: I went to a funeral home here in Fl and asked them for the papers to get a headstone for my great grandfather, who was buried in Okla. I had to have someone in Okla to be able to accept and put the headstone in and I found someone who was a headstone person who accepted this and it cost me only $40.00 for him to set it. The headstone was free from the government. Try to get the paper you need from a funeral home anyone can give you the papers. he even took pictures after he set it and mailed it to me.
