EBERTS CRYPT
The slab top will lie on some
2 x 4's to keep it up off the ground.
Making it easier to lift and put back
in place once the crypt is rebuilt.

**Relatives stand with the
newly repositioned
Crimean War Stone
**with the work done, hopefully
this stone will stay preserved
for many years to come.
Four years later it is still in
beautiful shape standing
straight and strong.

Crimean War Stone
Mc MAHON
**Paul & Bruce are placing
a sealing compound on the base
which will keep moisture from seeping
in between the base & headstone, which
can freeze in cold weather & cause some
serious sliding problems
**preventative step taken, saves many hours
of repositioning again

Crimean War Stone
Mc MAHON
**stone in position, being lifted
**a very slow process
**No Room for Mistakes Now
as the last thing they'd want, would be
for it to bump against the base
and break a chunk out of it
