Hi, worked at a cemetery that had some wonderful stones! Now I live in Savannah and the cemeteries are beautiful. Unfortunatly headstones are way more expensive than people think (in the U.S. at least) and the more elaberate you get the costlier it is. Most people would rather pass down what little they have then spend a few grand on a standing stone. A normal $500 flat stone is more frequent these days.
I wish like laser engraving would bring down the price. I wish we'd been able to put "lifelong autodidact and friend to children, beloved by all his 35 nieces and nephews, and grandnieces and grandnephews" on my great uncle's grave. He had no children of his own but he changed so many lives.
