I made some out of styrofoam, an exacto knife and black construction paper. Yes, those were a lot of fun! Oh, and chalk to write the epitaphs.

I had "R U Scared", "bowling for bones" w/ 10 concrete skulls in bowling pin pattern and leaf pile gutter, " Llorrona's Nino's ", and Edger Allen Poe.

Edgers was done with black concrete, letters painted with high quality glow paint. A solitary raven was perched on top. And the piece de resistance.. solitary black rose, and snifter of brandy (also painted with glow paint). IT was lit with a portable black light, which was coated with glow paint.

Also Gargoyles, Celtic Crosses and various other statuaries.

Llorronas Ninos & Bowling 4 Bones was done with 2" thick styrofoam.... I painted the letters with syrup, coated them with sand and torched it. BElieve it or not this works and is quick. Just be mindful of the fumes..

We made ours out of wood and put them in the flower bed next to the house. We weren't too creative with our names except for the small tombstone that simply read "Baby" and then had a small rattle drawn underneath the name.
