KD in CA Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 However, since natural burial sites do not use traditional tombstones... Is that because rocks are not natural? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'd rather have a tombstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Put a solar panel above ground to recharge the GPS battery. This reminds of back in the 1800's you could have a bell system attached to your headstone with a chain going down into your coffin attached your finger. So you could ring the bell in case you were accidentally buried alive. I guess it happen back then sometimes? Old grave and death customs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Put a solar panel above ground to recharge the GPS battery. But a solar panel is even less natural than a tombstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
