Cool Grave marker using Geodes & Arrowheads

[finderzzs]

I was walking through a cemetary recenty when I came across this family marker, it is made with a stack of Geodes and the family name is spelled out in nice large arrowheads. Thought it was pretty cool, may have been done over 80-100 years ago judging by the family headstone dates.

I doubt they would let you do that today but what a neat idea.

Why not?

Just trying to get a sense if it's different down your way.

If a plot is private basically. (Bought by someone)

A marker can be brass plate, granite, marble, limestone, cement, and even wood.

Maybe each cemetery has their "preference" markers.

I just figured they would want a boring granite one so they could make more $ off of your loss
