Nothing creepy about finding serenity in a cemetary, but it takes a special kinda "indifferent", which is putting it mildly, to essentially take just about all a family member has left(aside from the obvious pictures and personal memorabilia) of a loved one away from them. Of course he shouldn't have stole grave stones. That goes without saying.

That's really unfortunate and hurtful to the families of the deceased. But aside from that the story sounds like a prospective movie plot where Rob Schneider would play the man stealing the tombstones and then later finds out that he's now sharing his newly renovated home with 38 ghosts. I can see the lights flickering, stove going on and off and tubes of toothpaste being squeezed all over the bathroom lol.

That's really cool! Stairway to Heaven. Haha, although a tombstone isn't a guaranteed ticket to Heaven.

Someone must have forgotten to tell him that there is no shortage of bricks and lumber.

Well, guess it IS cheaper than buying the stuff. But it's still wrong, and more than that, heartless.

It sounds creepy but I love cemeteries and anything to do with them. It's all so peaceful. I know that's creepy. I don't think that's creepy at all. My fav place to go walking is through a cemetery.

Tipped up on end, caskets make great closet or pantry space, he could have had a whole theme in mind. None of that will happen to my corpse, I wanna be composted!
