I have an ongoing Rest In Peace series. So far they are hidden in 4
cemeteries... two in hollow places in trees, three under
trees/bushes along the fenceline, covered with various things like
stone, bark, sticks and leaves, and one is under a loose flower bed
border type stone at the foot of a grave. This one is a family grave
plot, so I am not infringing on someone else's privacy.

Greetings,

I've got a 12 box series based on the Zodiac hidden in
12 different towns in Western MA. Most of the
cemetaries are still active, meaning that they aren't
full and/or closed to new burials. Most of the boxes
are hidden in or behind trees, but one is hidden in an
old stump, another is in a rock wall, and still
another is simply hidden under some brush and whatnot.
If you'd like to get an idea of what the clues are
like, look my name up at the LbNA site, and pick one.
Hopefully, they all survived the winter. :-)

England!!

Hey, that gives me an idea. I can carve my own stamp for my grave and
instruct my heirs to plant it on my grave and I can have many visitors. I would be a
very popular dead person. : )

Now I have visions of a Tupperware-lidded gravestone that would
accommodate all supplies and any hitchhikers........ Not sure whether
to be weirded out or simply LMAO. :-D

This is kind of different but related in a way:
My father carved his own gravestone. Being a stonecutter, he saw no reason to leave it to his three daughters to find someone to do it after his death, so he did it. My younger sister was totally flipped out over the fact that our dad sat in a cemetary putting his own name on the family stone!

Hey Mark,
I'm planning on cremation, myself. Can I leave instructions in my
will to have my ashes put into a double sealed ziplock and left in
your "grave" stamp box as a hitchhiker?

I'm curious as to the proper procedure for logging the unusual, to say
the least, HH. I suppose if you included a glue stick with it, we could
dab a bit on our log page then sprinkle just a pinch of ash on the glue.
Your ashes would truly become scattered. And, what a unique way for your
Lb'ing friends to remember you.
