I recently read an article which came out sometime in '96 about a black
market for cemetery ornaments/art in Texas. Has anyone heard about this in
their state? I'm wondering how widespread this is, and whether it is
actually organized in some way or just sporadic occurrences. And, besides
using an old tombstone as a coffee table, why are people buying marble
statuary?
