Lifting and Hoisting Stone Grave markers

This video covers the basic procedures for resetting a stone grave marker while using a lifting or hoisting system. Two important things to remember are to exercise personal safety first and to do no harm to the grave marker. These are structures may be surprisingly heavy yet delicate and a great amount of care must be exercised when moving and handling them. Hosted by Jason Church.
