The back steps at my grandmother’s house are old tombstones. Her house is right next to the cemetery and used to be a funeral parlor.

Well, I guess your grandmother’s neighbors are pretty quiet, except on election day.

I remember as a kid visiting family friends in Bay St. Louis, going out to play in their backyard, and finding a huge patio made of tombstones.

Quite the conversation piece.

You use what you have!

We have an uncarved granite one in our back flower bed. It’s a little rough, with a rounded top. You can tell it was meant to be a tombstone. Wife will not let me place it “upright”...so it lays flat on its back with a big flower pot on it.
