  • Why wait ‘til it’s too late?

    Many people pre-plan their funerals, paying in advance for burial plots and headstones.

    Charles French has gone at least one step further – not only did he design and commission the creation of elaborate headstones for himself and his mother, he has had them installed in front of his home in the 900 block of Highland Avenue so that he can enjoy them before they are put to their intended use.
