 CHEAP AND EASY GRAVE MARKERS
During this season of decoration of graves, it is vital to get the unmarked graves some type of notation.
Anyone knowing who these folks are would be encouraged to place some type of marker. I have placed many in these old cemeteries with markers that were very inexpensive to make.
I go to the local Lowes, Wal-mart, etc. and get a one-inch flat solid concrete block, and a landscape block (the one I use, if placed upright, looks like a small tombstone).
Then I'm off to the local Awards company and have a 5"x7" plaque made on stainless steel. Black with silver or gold embossing looks great. I started with plain silver and etching, but these do not show up as well.
I glue this engraving to the front of the landscape block with liquid nail. Then attach the block to the flat one-inch concrete block.
It is better than having the grave remain unmarked. It takes under $20 to do one of these and they are light enough for anyone to place by themselves.
