Need to buy a headstone? On my way home from work I pass a shop that sells headstones. I haven't seen a name on the building but its purpose is unmistakable because the property surrounding the building is full of, well, headstones. All shapes, sizes, fonts, etc. Some even have pictures etched into the stone. I wonder if you can give them a picture to etch or if you have to choose from a set. And, at the back, away from the sidewalk, there's a yard full of bulk stone. The building has obviously been there a long time; the architecture screams pre-1970. I wonder if this particular business has always been there or if they chose to move there from somewhere else. It's not a location I would have chosen to sell headstones from, but then I'm not sure where I would choose. |
