[MassHistPres] broken gravestones

[MONA1927 at aol.com]

In East Bridgewater we have a problem with an automobile accident smashing 
old gravestones in our
very old cemetery. We have presented an estimate for replacement to an 
insurance company and
they are fighting the cost. These stones date to the 1700's and were slate. 
We requested that they
be duplicated in granite because of the disintigration slate is apt to have. 
We have also requested that the epitaphs, and all be duplicated. We found a 
monument company that will do this for us.
The cemetery is in the National Historic District of the town. Has anyone had 
a problem such as this.
What is our legal right to do this.   Margaret Alexander, East Bridgewater 
Historical Commission.
