  Common Options For A Grave Headstone         


Author: tiongain
Date: May 13, 2008 22:41

When an individual has passed on, many are buried underground in
cemeteries. With cemeteries becoming overcrowded, how will an
individual recognize the grave site of their friend or loved one? A
marker is generally placed at the top of a burial site.

A grave headstone is a stone marker placed at the head of the grave,
otherwise known as the top. When purchasing a grave headstone for a
loved one or family member, there are a wide variety of options
available. Grave headstones can come as a simple flat slate or they
can be a fairly elaborate marker in the shape of something or just a
waist level marker. The final decision will be depend on the
preference of remaining family members and the rules and guidelines of
the cemetery.

Many cemetery will perform standard ground maintenance, such as moving
the lawn and plowing driveway paths. Depending on the cemetery, it may
be familyís responsibility to properly care for and keep the
gravestone site cared for. It is common for remaining family or
friends to place flowers or keepsake memories on a grave headstone.
After time, these item may die or wear away, this may be something the
family may have to take care of.

It is Wed, 12:13am EDT (0413z).
JSTARS "Wizard" is up with Northrop Grumman ground station "Terra
5" on 231.75 in test comms.
Tonight, "Wizard" is the rear-end callsign for "Canoe 03," the
E-8C that did some touch and goes at Patrick AFB earlier and said he
would be back in a few hours. My photos show Canoe 03's "JS" tail
markings, denoting the
Melbourne IAP-based Northrop Grumman JSTARS operation, as opposed to
Robins AFB GA-ANG 116ACW.
"Wizard" is also IDing as "T-3," a callsign often used by the
Melbourne-based JSTARS acft.
The ground station "Terra 5" is producing a horrible horn sound
every time it keys up to respond to "T-3."
Incidentally, the callsign is not "Tango 3"; they pronounce it "Tee
3."
T-1, T-2 and T-3 were the original three E-8s produced and were
used for testing. T-3 is acft serial 90-0175.
Comms between T-3 and Terra 5 are now discussing establishing a
SCDL link between them; also discussing on-going Satcomms via freqs
266.05 and 301.055. ...
