Hello everyone,
Eight years ago, I thought I had the perfect job for someone that loves
genealogy. People loved to talk about family members and their
connections and they always come  to you.

I sold grave monuments. Like everyone else, I used to call them
tombstones but was very quickly corrected. What we erect at the grave
site is nothing like the stone placed at Christ's tomb.

Graves are traditionally laid out with the foot facing east so that at
the second coming, the dead can rise up. Husband and wife are buried the
way they stand before God and the preacher. If the graves were laid
correctly, when you stand at the foot of the grave and put your left arm
out, you should have it over the husband.
