I've been wondering for some time about the possibility of smoothing the rough-finished side of a gravestone which has no more room for names on the front side.
Don't know if that could be a DIY job, and not sure if anyone (stone mason?) could do that sort of thing on-site. Obviously proper permission would be needed before any such work.
Last time I asked I was told that it would be more expensive to remove the stone, smooth it, and replace it, than to buy new. But there'd be quite a lot of work in lettering a new stone to match the old, so I'm not so sure about that.
Working on the stone while still in place might be cheaper, I suppose.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
