About the only thing I can fault the gravestone business owner is not getting payment in full prior to starting work on the gravestone.
If the business had this policy in place, there would not be any chance of negative PR.

I'm very sorry for your loss I Still Care.
My mother was scattered in San Francisco Bay - in the same area where a number of her friends were scattered.
My parent's thought on the subject was...why be put into a cemetary. All that accomplishes is a feeling of guilt for the family members who can't/don't visit the grave.
Makes sense to me - I'm going to be cremated as well.

What’s the difference between placing something and emplacing something?

Probably nothing that a few hours of sleep couldn’t cure. ;o)

What a friggen looser. So we are to believe that you would rather beat someone out of his money than pay your bills. I think you need to move over to DU, where they don't believe in honor and paying your debts.

Yes, stone can be ground down and polished.

I can understand your logic, but just think of the scandle if the firm refused to provide the gravestone before every penny was paid. The uproar would probable approach the scandle this route raised. In this arena, I’m not sure the business could win.

A headstone is not a musthave item. Its in the constitution next to cheap gas.

Brady’s classmates raised money to pay the bill, and the headstone will be installed again this week.
Nice end to a sad story, at least.

WOW, this Mike Anderson must not want to be in this particular business anymore since he must love bad PR more.
What exactly could he do with the headstone once it was removed? Shave off the kids name? and resell it ?
What a friggen looser.
You might want to rethink this. It is, in fact, ‘just business’.
The looser is the parent that didn’t pay for her son’s headstone, didn’t try to make some kind of arrangement to do so.

This happened to our family. My mother died in 1963 and is buried in Holbrook,AZ. My father picked a headstone but never paid. He would rather drown his sorrows in any local bar. The stone carver repossessed the stone. 20 years later my brothers went back to the cemetery and after some detective work found her burial spot. The caretaker produced a map of the cemetery and plots and from her plot,a line was drawn to the edge of the paper that read “unknown.”

Brady Conger’s headstone will be replaced this morning, having been absent since Memorial Art Monuments repossessed it in May.

Police are saying excessive speed was the major factor in a collision Wednesday night at the mouth of Hobble Creek Canyon that claimed the lives of three teenagers.
Tasha Brammer, 18, Mapleton, and Brady Conger, 17, and Katelyn Gabbitas, 16, both of Springville, were killed when the sporty 2004 car in which they were riding collided with an eastbound SUV.

My cousin went in the landscaping business and ended up getting stiffed by a guy who moved and failed to pay for the work done before he sold his house; my cousin had failed to get a state license in California so was unable to get the guy to appear in court in Ventura court from San Jose but got a summary, non-appearance judgement instead.
He hung the paper on his office wall, got the necessary licenses and the next time somebody failed to pay, he sent his crew out to the house, dug up and repossessed all the plants.
With no place to replant them, they all died of course; but the point he made gave him satisfaction.

So he has to go bankrupt?
That is absurd.
I would imagine it has to be pretty bad to get to that point.
Sadly if you allow just ONE to get away with this then you will have every deadbeat beating a path to your door.
Keep in mind too, quality suffers when the business is not profitable. Does anyone really want a poorly made headstone for a loved one?
This had the proper result. The money was raised the bill was paid, the stone replaced. The end.

perhaps the stone cutter was being nice and the niceness was repayed with non-payment.
