Another thing our family has started doing is including on the back of the stone 'Proud Parents of...' and including all the children's names. This will aid in geneology research at some later time.

I had to pick out my moms and dads and I put bluegrass instruments on it has a banjo in middle and others fan out from the banjo. My dad is still alive and he loves to go to cemeteries and check out unique head stones
