You’d be surprised
I’ve done it

8 foot granite cross
Two descriptive 2x3 foot stones for my parents

20,000 plus

15 years ago

Btw in the same town as this but in the antebellum cemetery on highland ave

I think this is the Lytle cemetery itself

White Alabama marble looks great but it doesn’t hold up

FWIW

Your parents were blessed to have you as their son. I understand the importance of tributes to beloved family members, perhaps it's a southern thing.

When we laid Mom to rest it was the cemetery of the church that she attended as a child; about a mile from her North Carolina childhood home. The family had not been allowed to bury anyone in the old family cemetery for about 100 years (still private property). The church cemetery is probably 50% family. Yes, southerners consider 4th cousins family. Mom is laid to rest next to her parents and baby sister who died in infancy. I think Mom's headstone is the largest there as to my brothers and I she had the kindest and wisest heart God ever handed out.
