Good Morning Terry,
My personal preference would be to bury the old
stone beneath the new stone or someplace on top of the
grave. The present stone must be limestone since this
type of material is not known to be permanent. The
stone atop my grgrandpa's grave (b. 1787, d. 1879)has
also deteriorated over the years. More so in recent
years as air polution increased. His children not only had dates of =
birth/death inscribed on the stone but a
saying engraved that could still be read in 1978 but
the engraving has now almost disappeared. Fortunately
I photographed the stone (and stones of other family
members as well in other cemeteries) in 1978 so we have a record of the =
engraving. The final decision=20
will ultimately have to be made by you and your mother. Keep Looking UP.

Subject: REPLACEMENT STONE - What to do with the old one??

My gggrandfather's stone is broken, the DOD is illegible, and the stone =
is lying flat flush on the ground. My mother and I have determined to =
replace the stone with a granite one of about the same size, but less =
narrow and tall, as to avoid a future breakage.

But what do we do with the old one? Bury it beneath the new? =20
Terry
