Grave Headstone Repossessed

It is reported in Springville, Utah that a cemetery headstone of a teenager who died in a car crash was repossessed after a $750 bill was unpaid. Memorial Art Monument said, "If we gave a stone to everybody, we'd be out of business."

The teenager and two of his friends died when the car they were riding in smashed into a sport utility vehicle a year ago.

Memorial Art Memorial said the bills they sent were returned and they couldn't reach the teenager's mother, who had agreed a year ago to pay the balance, so they had to repossess the headstone. The teenager's former classmates raised enough money to pay the bill and it will be put back this week.
