Grave stone questions

[Gare]

My uncle told me he payed $400 to have his and my dad's tombstone leveled. That was probably 5-6 years ago now.

I had a guy who owns a head stone company come out and give me an estimate . The our Narcissa stone alone was $1,022 I am not going to spend that much. He did show me that most of these stones are in different pieces . They look like one stone but they are all stacked.

Did he give you any tips on how you can do it yourself.

Yes he gave me a few. I am soon to be 79 years old. He showed me how i could possible raise them with a giant pry bar and a block of wood. He told me in Ohio Most of these private cemeteries could get $1,600 for restoration and such. He also hinted maybe i could get some boy scouts to assist me for badge awards, He pointed out that the large ones were more then one piece. I never knew this . In this one there was a couple of ground hog holes that led to the leaning. (I always thought the large ones were ONE PIECE }
Tamerock I thank you and everyone's assistance
