Reply to comment by milkmamasilk in Gravestones were used by the people to build houses by ValdisPunk

I am not really scared of them but certainly respectful when I visit one.

My mother usually says there is no need to be afraid in a graveyard because everyone there is already dead. I think she means living humans are what you should be afraid of.

Yes, fine.... just don't walk away with the grave marker and use it for construction. RUDE and might get you a case of angry spirits.

Sometimes grave markers are removed and destroyed though by the caretakers for several reason. Its a bit upsetting to see them.

A coffin might have to be moved or there are no family members alive anymore - oh any number of reasons. Hence no need for a gravemarker anymore. We might believe our final resting place will be for eternity but often it is not.

What I mean is the graveyard caretakers has to do this but I dont think they are more prone to haunting than any other person. I am half a skeptic to the existance of ghosts.
