How do you set a headstone?

To set a headstone, begin by selecting an appropriate location and ensuring the ground is level. Dig a hole slightly larger than the base of the headstone, then place a layer of gravel or sand at the bottom for drainage. Position the headstone upright in the hole, ensuring it is straight and secure, and then backfill with soil, compacting it around the base. Finally, double-check the alignment and adjust as necessary before finishing the surrounding area.
