Hello,
I am planning to do some restoration work in a Swafford
Cemetery, in Monroe County Indiana. This cemetery has a
large stone stump that has fallen over:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GScid=2371638&GR...
& . Does anyone have any information about what type
of base these types of monument should have? The stone stump
is approximately six feet tall and 20 inches in diameter, at
the base. For a regular stacked memorial we would bury it
six or eight inches in the ground, but the stone stump is
carved all the way to the bottom, and it would seem like a
waste of that effort to bury any of it. It was on a piece of
limestone that settled to one side, which made the monument
fall.
Since we will have to work on the base anyway, I wanted
to make sure the base was the right size and the sand &
gravel the right depth.
Thank you for you help
Scott Emery
