Jearldene, You are most welcome. I am Pres. of a small rural cemetery in Garland Co., AR and found that this was simple to make and at a cost we could afford. Like most rural cemeteries we depend on donations for all cost involved in the upkeep, so this was a way to get the job done. The tombstone itself is a block used for landscaping and sea wall construction. Stood upright it looks like a small tombstone. When complete they are larger than footstones and readable. You can even go to more expense by having decorations applied, these turn out beautiful. Depends on what you want to spend. Just use your imagination to create whatever you choose. I saw one with fish and deer for a man's grave that was really nice. So you can really personalize them for little cost. Check with any company in your town that does awards and trophies and they should help you make a selection, and may even have some ideas of their own to share.
