MAKIN' MONEY ON THE DEAD

While visiting Boston on business I took some time to walk the "freedom trail" visited the Old North Church of Paul Revere fame. Also saw the SS Constitution "Old Iron Sides" one of the first fighting ships in the US Navy.
Just down from the North Church I saw this cool grave yard. If you notice the head stones are 2 deep, sometimes 3.
Apparently the sexton of the cemetery was reselling grave sites of some of the old graves and then stashing the headstones in the basement of a nearby church. While renovating the church they found the headstones and have tried to restore them to their rightful places.
