Hello
I was reading your post with interest, as my hubby and I were talking about how it would make sense for offenders to put in grave tidying time - it might also give them a little time to think about how soon they might end up in there if they don't mend their ways!!!

I mentioned to someone recently that old headstones that are no longer readable and have become separated from their graves could be recycled.

I saw this written in a book once quite a cheery little epitaph

"Look on me as you pass by
As you are now
So once was I
As I am now
Soon you will be
Therefore prepare to follow me"


I prefer 'Beneath this Sod lies another'



regards
