Grave Marker BizOp
Dan Sherman: “What you’ll be doing is providing/making grave markers for the lower income families the funeral home may be talking to. Markers can cost well over $500. You can make one for about $10-$15 in materials out of material called Hydrastone. That’s a substance kind of like plaster, but very, very hard after setting. The end product won’t be fancy with the brass inlaid text… etc. But it’ll be quite nice and most importantly, cheap.”

Sounds kinda like a dead-end career.

Hey, Dan T, don’t make fun of Dan S’s idea! I’ve always favored the idea of becoming the “Wal Mart of Tombstones”;)

I have read that hydrastone is not water friendly, how will it hold up as a grave marker?
Dan Sherman on July 27th, 2005 8:15 am
It’s EXTREMELY durable. I have no idea where you heard that it isn’t water friendly, but it’s used for outdoor statues and all kinds of outdoor applications. It’s made for outdoor applicataions because it stands up to the weather quite nicely. No, it probably won’t be as readable as a marble marker 500 years from now, but it’ll be quite nice 200 years from now, still. :-)
