Not sure about the full implications of "full finished basement" but we have concrete floor and roof and standing height, even though a few of the doors is so low I had to pad the upper treshold with foam to avoid cracking my skull should I forget to bow my head(I am 186cm tall)

You can't live down there but it's good enough for storage, my workshop and my firing range

Some old gravestones from one of the cemetarys I work at. You can read 1686 as a death date, but the cemetary (and some of the church) is from the 11th century.

What do you do with the old gravestones/graves?

What do you expect when you go around advertising your sisters in your avatar like that?

Have to check but I'm almost certain it's not cedar. We don't have much of it here as far as I know. Probably pine or fir. I'm not good at telling them apart once the bark and branches are gone

Pretty obvious they keep the very old ones for showing off

More recent graves will be recycled, at least in Norway. Spent several summers working at cemetaries myself when I was younger. Fresh graves have a 20 years grace period when they're not touched except for new burials within the same family. After the first 20 years, relatives can renew the "lease" for successive 10-year periods. Once it reach a certain age (100+ years?) it will be permanently protected.

Stones no longer in use will be crushed and used as gravel.

Nothing much, we tend the graves. Cutting the grass and stuff like that. The stones are just leaned against the wall, someone should take care of them too IMO.

There´s a few deserted cemetarys in Gothenburg, old cholera cemetarys and old hospital cemetarys. These are protected by The National Heritage Board. A few stones remain on those. And the ordinary cemetarys keep the graves as longs as someone is paying for the plot. if they don´t they´ll be sold to someone else and the gravestone may be rewritten

Did I mention I like cats? Well, no need telling that to the cats themselves.

Too bad I have no pictures of me throwing them around (away) when trying to sleep.
