When you cast them, how much info does the marker contain:  name (how 
many spaces -- could it include a maiden name in parenthesis), birth 
date, death date or ???

Are you limited to a certain size?  I suppose the cost would be based 
somewhat on the size.

Then you would need to add shipping costs to your other costs.  Most of 
us are not in Eastern Oregon.

I know some old graves that need markers but I'm not sure about the 
cemetery rules either so would have to check that out.
