I assume there is not a stone for the two graves as a unit? Is it a plot
that might be viewed as family by others?
You might move it if you price it lower, just to move it.
You could avoid expense by advertising it in Freecycle and giving it away.
I have gotten rid of a lot of stuff that way. I'm about to get rid of my
computers again, now that my most recent one has scrap metal where its hard
drive used to be.

over five thousand groups, over eight million members. Great way to get
rid of stuff without the hassle of selling.
