Legalities of a grave marker? I have a dilemma! My father died a little over two years ago and his wife has not put a grave marker or headstone on his grave. Up until now when anyone has asked her about getting the headstone she has said she just can't do it because of her grief. I have wanted to be respectful of her grieving process but I also want my father to be honored. He left her plenty of money to provide for a proper marker. If this was about money everyone in the family would either contribute or my husband and I would pay for it ourselves. I have come to the decision that she is using this as a control issue with our family. Is there anything I can do about this legally?

In Mississippi, is it legal to bury someone without providing a permanent marker for their grave? I am curious if cometary or /funeral homes in Mississippi are required to provide each grave a permanent marker? There's got to be some sort of law - or minimum requirements for each state as to how graves are marked. I am inquiring because I was told that a family member of mine who is buried in Ms. doesn't have a "real" or permanent grave marker. I was shown pictures of his burial sight nearly 2 years after he passed - and all that it was marked by was a small plant marker. (an unprotected piece of paper about the size of an index card that said name, DOB and date of death - it was inside a a small metal or plastic frame, stuck in the ground..) This "marker" or piece of paper, as I call it - clearly showed weather damage and it was hard to read what it said if you didn't already know.. In the background of these pix you can see many other graves with markers from small to huge. - but at least they all appeared to be permanent - recognizable - and accurate!. Please help me learn the definitive answer to this question. Just the thought of it makes so upset and I can't imagine how this would ever be O.K. or allowed anywhere! Thank you so much:)

Does anyone know how much it will cost to have a grave marker installed? Hi. I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was only 10yrs old. It's been 26 years, I'm now a married mom myself and had never been to the grave until recently. (it was just too painful) So, I go to the grave and find out that it's unmarked and has been for 26yrs. I HAVE to put a marker down for my own sanity. The cemetary told me to find an outside company to purchase one from. I know the cost of the markers, but does anyone know how I go about getting it installed? Will the cemetary do that? Or the company who I buy the marker from? I have no idea and cannot seem to get a straight answer from anyone.

Where do I find someone to make a grave marker? Well I just found out that my grandmother who died a year and a half ago doesn't have a grave marker! No one ever told us until last week. My uncle says that someone quoted him 380, however I told my mom I would help her get one, seeing as how we are both struggling financially right now ( yet there are others in the family who are not, and should have done this a year and a half ago) We live 6 hours away from the grave site, so can I get one anywhere and have it shipped there, but then who places it. Or do I have to find someone who makes them in NY? Anyone know?

What do you think about the nearly 10 year battle for a Wiccan grave marker ? http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/225898/families_can_finally_have_wiccan_symbol.html Above is one story about the nearly decade long battle for Wiccans in the military to have a pentagram on their govenrment issued headstone. I am especially interested in what Christians think about the fact that there have been several Christians symbols available, as well as several emblems available for other faiths, but for 1o year the VA refused to allow Wiccans a symbol of THEIR faith. It was only after the threat of a lawsuit that they did the right thing. The VA kept saying they were "revising" the rules, but groups that applied AFTER the Wiccans applied were quickly approved, and the VA just kept giving one flimsy excuse after another to the Wiccans. Our commander in chief actively supports the curtailment of Wiccan civil rights in the military, he does NOT think they have a right to practice their faith. What do you think about all this ? Thanks everyone for your answers. Father K is the only one I could identify as Christian. I am especially interested in what Christians think about this. Especially those who think that Christians are treated unfairly in the US, or who think that Pagans are "anti-American". Thanks again. Dr John - Your countries antiquated blasphemy only seem to prohibit saying anything against Church of England. (apparently other Christian denominations are fair game) I don't think they prohibit other faiths from having their own symbols. But here in our country, freedom of religion is enshrined in the law, so no, in America, the law does not support jailing people for "blasphemy". Looks like your country hasn't prosecuted anyone over this backwards law, and fortunately, is looking to get rid of the embarring law. Newsflash: Wicca is a legally recognized religion in the US. http://www.lvrj.com/news/9441071.html Here is a follow up story concerning the widow of Sgt Patrick Stewart, who fought with the VA to get her husband faith emblem on his grave marker.

How well will modern grave stones hold up in the years to come? I visited the grave of my great-great grandparents, who both died in the late 1890s. Unfortunately, time has not been kind to their grave stone, which has pretty badly - most of the inscription on the stone has faded to the point that it's no longer readable. I was wondering if modern day grave markers would fare any better, if they would still be readable a century after they were made and placed.
