We have usually had to wait a year to have headstones erected on our deceased relatives.We were told the ground had to settle before the stone could be placed...but this is for a full length monument..not just the stone placed at the head of the grave.We always placed a simple wooden cross with the deceased details until the headstone was erected.SuperDave said:Nuts to that. My dad's stone was up in less than three days.
Tsk Tsk. My MIL and I were exact opposites and I didn't much like her at first. However, my father advised me to pretend to like her just the same. He said "Agree with whatever she says and then just quietly do your own thing". It was sound advice. I didn't get stressed with anything my MIL said - I just let her talk away. She gradually realised that I would always do my own thing anyway and she stopped telling me what to do. Incredibly, we became great pals. We never agreed on much for 20 years, but we did agree to differ and would often laugh about it. I miss her so much. Our youngest daughter was conceived shortly after her death and she's her spitting image. When people comment on this I say "Well she couldn't look like a finer woman" and out of the corner of my eye, I watch my DH swell with pride ;-)trixie said:Hi Jayelles, well if that is what is going on she hasn't told anybody about it. She did tell us she wishes to be cremated tho. Maybe she expects everyone to figure it out. Can you tell I don't like my MIL?

Interesting, but I don't think Patsy would have that on her tombstone.keriekerie said:this is really wrong
The chances of Patsy Ramsey having this engraved on her tombstone are slim to none.SuperDave said:If some people don't like what's written here, don't read it.
