Hello, all: Hoping someone can give me some clues here. Several years ago, my cousin Bill Settle Reese told me about a company that made cement markers for about $25 (I'm sure the price has gone up since then). I have some ancestors who only have funeral home markers or nothing at all and, having not won the lottery or married Bill Gates or found relatives willing to share the cost, I can't really afford to place granite markers at all their grave sites at this point (hopefully in the future). Does anyone know the name and/or telephone number of such a company that would serve the Fayette Co. area? (I think it would be a bit much on my Toyota to have them made here in Kentucky and lug them in the trunk of my car to West Virginia! <G>) Thanks for all help! June

June, I don't know anyone at this time, but will keep it in mind. I also have seen them in our readings that use the funeral home marker (the better ones) and press them into the wet concrete. It seems to do a good job of marking the graves.

You should contact Fred Samsel in Fayetteville. He has been making some tombstones for his relatives and they are really nice. He does them all by hand. If you call him you need to talk to his wife Rosemary as Fred has a serious hearing problem. I am certain he will share info on how to make them.
