Best to all, Jacquelyn May I suggest granit? Marble looks fantastic when you put it in, but it is also a pouris stone and flakes pieces off later. Perhaps that should be number 14. 14. Thou shalt place a marble tablet on your resting place so that within a hundred years no one can read your name or date you were born. Renee
Thanks, Renee, for the "heads up" on the marble. Will definitely consider the granite! Appreciate it!
