but the stone is your property and you can have on it whatever you wish.

well, almost ... some graveyards have 'rules' about what can go on gravestones, I seem to remember a ridiculous fuss about not being allowed to say Dad or Daddy (had to be Father) or something equally senseless!

As I said before there are some rules set by local councils that is one of them.. rude/cuss words are probably not allowed either

Quote from our local funeral directors. Each LETTER costs £12 so should cost about £600 or more then there is £400 to remove three pieces of marble round the grave so that she could be buried and this will include replacement of the marble and £100 to remove and replace headstone.The cost of my mothers funeral would have been £6000.00 if she hadn't already bought a plot and wanted to be buried rather than cremated. Prices quoted in Feb 2013. Better get saving up. Apparently a plot is going to go up very soon. Need to check this out. Better get saving.
