If the cemetery has an office, stop in and ask the caretaker, they are typically very helpful.Glory Days wrote: i have a related question. i have been meaning to visit a grave site. i was able to find out the cemetery, but is there a way find the specific plot once i get there?
Yep..my uncles grave is this way. No tombstone or anything. Just the little grave marker they put on there when he was buried. Upsets me to no end. But nothing I can do about it.mpmac wrote: Some requests I filled today and some I didn't have any luck in finding, and those are the ones that I find sad (the ones that have nothing to mark their passing).
Sure there is. You can contact the you local monument company and have one made yourself. A small marker is really not that expensive. Ususally they do all of the work contacting the cemetery and having the foundation poured. You may have to pay the cemetery trustee yourself or it could be included in the price of the marker, just depends. A small marker for my wife's sister who died as a baby never had a marker and it cost me about $300 to have one placed. The monument company even had a payment plan, if cash was a problem.GoChiefs wrote: Yep..my uncles grave is this way. No tombstone or anything.

Nope...absolutely nothing we can do. We have tried. At the time of his death, he was going through a divorce. Not yet finalized when he passed, so, he was still legally married. It is up to his wife to have a tombstone put on it. And she doesn't want one on there. 'Cause she's a c**t. If we pay to have one put on there, she will tell them to remove it. Which, as his wife, she is able to do. It's out of our hands until she kicks the bucket as well.mpmac wrote: Sure there is. You can contact the you local monument company and have one made yourself.

Yep..we've investigated it..and there isn't anything we can do. The cemetery will indeed follow through b/c it would be a court ordered thing.mpmac wrote: That really does suck. I don't know what else you could do besides wait her out. She'll keel over eventually. I wonder, if the cemetery would actually follow through with tearing it out though. I wouldn't think that they would given the circumstances. I assume that you and your family have investigated that though...
