When I lived in Texas I found several stones in a small town cem. that read "Kilt by Injuns"  and a couple said "Mudered "  Love their spelling.

In Melbourne General Cemetery, in Australia, there is a huge monument to Elivs, though of course no body lies within.  And still every anniversary they gather and sing his songs.  My friend who runs the cemetery tours there says it drives her nuts, BUT, to each his own.

I would like to know who pays for and does the upkeep for the graves in the UK, is it the family, the church, the local council, the historical society.  Because I have a wonderful picture I found of a family headstone off the internet, from Madron Cornwall, and it's in lovely condition, as are the surrounds.
