Crack in the base - repair or replace?

Posted by Dave•2 months ago

There's a thin crack running across the base of my mom's monument. Not huge but I notice it every time. Is that something that can be repaired or do we need to think about replacing the base? Cemetery said they don't do repairs.

We had something similar. Local stone guy filled it with epoxy tinted to match. You can still see it if you look close but it's way less obvious. Might be worth getting a quote.

Depends how big and if it's structural. If it's just cosmetic epoxy can work. If the base is shifting at all I'd get someone to look at it.
