Nell - I'll contact them. Its just that I came across a website advising on how to lift or move gravestones which got me thinking as to how I would do mine and went off on that tangent. Thanks. Karen |

Karen I think this is a matter for the local council, they are responsible for public safety. Suppose you lifted this stone and it fell on someone later on? I've visited quite a few cemeteries which have notices advising people to take care and not to walk between gravestones. nell |

I have found the grave of one of my ancestors in a local necropolis. The gravestone is lying face down on the grave. Does anyone know if it we are allowed to move the gravestone ourselves? I read on a website that it needs to be flipped on the short side rather than 'stood up'. If we are allowed to do this ourselves - anyone any idea how many people I would need to do this? This is my ancestor that was the first of the family to move from England to Scotland and of course am hoping there is loads on info on the (rather large) gravestone, however things being what they are with this family it is likely to be crushingly disappointing! |
