Tombstones As Fill Material
KENTUCKY...
Sometimes fill material is hard to find. A southcentral Kentucky city is using discarded tombstones to fill drainage ditches at a park. Somerset Mayor Eddie Girdler said the city obtained "excess monument rocks" from a local company and the stones were the ideal size for filling ditches at Rocky Hollow Park. The monuments were rejected due to broken or damaged stones or erroneous inscriptions.
