Hello there and thank you for commenting! Luckily, in our lifetime it will not "fall tip over & break" on it's own. We are in earthquake country, so it's definitely possible. If, for whatever reason it did tip or fall over, it would do so onto the soft ground in front or behind it. At which point staff would simply prop it back up

Where's the concrete foundation, that thing will eventually fall over with just dirt under it
@TimRSanchez17 күн бұрын
It's unlikely it will ever simply "fall over" - it's really heavy. The only thing that would topple it would be a significant earthquake, and this is after all "earthquake country" here in the Bay Area. And earthquakes may be the reason why they don't do concrete foundations around here.

No footing , no setting compound between the die and base. All and all a poor job of a costly monument.

You may want to view the video once more - at 3:25 the cemetery worker begins the process of adding the setting compound. They don't do footing on this type marker in this cemetery for a couple reasons: Because we are in earthquake territory and because the majority of this large cemetery is on rolling hills, not flat. Placing the base in a "shallow grave" so to speak, makes it easier to adjust grave markers that will invariably shift due to weather and earthquakes. Not sure if they've always done it this way here

Found I am related to this one. familySearch has him in the Family Tree and there is a view my relationship finder link on every page that when clicked tells you if you share a common ancestor with that person, William Weeks, an early Massachusetts resident came from England but not on the Mayflower, is that common ancestor.

Con you show how you did the measurements to find the location of the grave?

Sorry for the long delay - somehow just seeing this. The cemetery has accurate maps indicating exactly the borders of every plot - in feet & inches. Richardson is in a large family plot - approx 16' X 14', or 224 square feet. They don't however, know exactly where in that plot he lies. Maybe the cemetery didn't document that part back in 1867. So not knowing, what we did was place the grave marker in the center of the family plot

Footer needs to be deeper with rebars. No leveling? Looks like it’s leaning.
@brandon180542 жыл бұрын
Why is rebar necessary? Do you understand how much a monument weighs, compared to concrete? A foundation dug 3-4 feet deep would likely weigh more than the monument itself, meaning there’s no reason to structurally reinforce it with rebar. We’re not building a skyscraper here, we’re placing a monument. Concrete is strong enough by itself, even 3K PSI tensile strength...

The footer is as deep as it needs to be - this is how it is done these days. And it grave marker IS level - the ground under the grave marker is not level
@joecdm1002 жыл бұрын
This is not how it's done. Foundations are certainly still industry standard but you absolutely do not need rebar on a dink stone like that. The weight of the slab has nothing to do with anything. Generally you want to dig the hole beneath the frost line and depending on where you are its usually between 18 and 26 inches. Irrigation , ground stability and the type of ground are all factors but even a small stone like that should have some concrete underneath it. Even 2 50lb bags would be doable in this case as long as you had the proper fill. Without cement it's inevitably going to tip or at very least come off level slowly but surely.

Not a very good place to lay down, if that headstone should fall forward, how much time can that guy muster to get out of the way before he gets crushed?

Not sure why anyone would lay down in front of the headstone? And it would take a severe earthquake for the head stone to simply "fall over"

If this person is a HERO, then why not take the time to do a PROPER installation? Pour a concrete foundation and then when installing the stone, that has a hole and dowel setup, you need to use a setting compound to seal around the base of the die to protect from water intrusion, which will cause decay of the dowels over time.......but looking at some of the other markers that are leaning and in need of straightening and repair, its apparent proper training wasn't done!
@TimRSanchez2 жыл бұрын
If you look at the video a sealing compound WAS used. As to the markers that are leaning, the area is one of the oldest in that cemetery - the grave markers are between 100-150 years old. What kind of "training" should they have had 150 years ago?

No setting compound was used. They used structural 2 part epoxy to bond the stone to the base and stabilize the pins. A semi soft putty around the entire edge of the monument where it sits on the base should have been used to prevent water or crud getting between the stone and the base and possibly freezing which can potentially shift the entire monument.
@joecdm1002 жыл бұрын
Maybe some rigging training as well. They basically got lucky here with the way the slings were rigged and I can assure you if all those edges were polished instead of being rock pitched things would not have went that smooth.
