  • UGGESTIONS TO CEMETR.EY LOT HOLDERS. Your lot is but one of many; consider the surroundings, and select a monument appropriate to the location. It is better to have an original design tli .i' f0 i.i il!. n neighbor's monument. In some cemeteries this practice is prohibited. Variety in design and material adds interest to a cemetery. Quality is better than quantity; a small but artistic monument is better than a meaningless pile of stone that has no beauty. Quality will be remembered long after price has been forgotten. Cemeteries conducted on the lawn plan recommend having one central monument and one low marker at each grave. To insure permanence, monuments should have foundations of stone, brick or concrete extending below the frost line. Inscriptions should always be simple in form.
