I wonder if the people who do granite kitchen tops would be interested?
You could probably get the plate inscribed from another place and put it together yourself.

Shipping would be too expensive to buy it from out of town.

Think the Cemetary might have some rules about what can be used. Most want ground level for maintenance.

A pity really.

I have bought a couple from here and the family was pleased with them. I got small enough ones to carry and set by hand. The shipping is included in the price but if you get a big one you'll need to have a way to unload it from the truck.

I once bought a coffin from Caskets "R" Us, but never a discount headstone.

My cousin and I had the coffin in the back of my deceased uncle's carpenter's van. We got pulled over on the Kansas Turnpike. The trooper asked us where we were going in such a hurry. My cousin replied, "Dad's funeral." The officer looked in the back, scowled, and told us to slow down. I guess he figured Uncle Keith was riding with us.

Yes, I have had to look into this just this week.
Sorry, but you are probably at about as low a price as possible.

About what I paid 4 months ago. Local company not connected to the cemetery. Who wanted double.

I dunno, a granite kitchen countertop would look cool, and you'd have easy access to water for flowers. Wink

since there is only a dozen of us in a 1700 mile radius, we thought it was just a nice way , maybe to be remembered. the previous 7 all have at least markers.

my spouse wants nothing, no plot , no service , no marker, no nothing
