I used to be a funeral director, and I've seen a fair share of tombstones arrive from the headstone makers with mistakes on them, especially those commissioned by the Veterans' Administration. Since those latter were free, it was easy to just request a replacement. I'm not sure I ever saw corrections carried out right on markers that had been or were subsequently installed (although I have seen uncorrected mistakes on some - sorry, no pictures yet). I can understand the impulse to correct rather than replace, considering the expense of these things, especially a massive one like this, but it just looks so tacky.
Tomb wrecks are real tombstones that make us laugh. No photoshop work is done here (except to cover the names of the victims). We know death can be a touchy subject, and no disrespect is intended. We view this as the lighter side of the other side. While we welcome your photo submissions, we absolutely do not condone trespassing or damaging grave markers. Don't wreck a potential wreck! :o)
