ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A worker made an eerie discovery: a walkway made from face-down grave markers inscribed with names and biographical details.
Brian Darwin pulled nine of the about 60 granite pavers out of the ground
When he flipped one of the 100-pound slabs over a day later, he was stunned.
An inscription read: "Beloved Wife, Mother Viola T. Bagnasco, 1901-1969."
Caryl Arnet, owner of monument maker Arnet's Inc., says "It's a great material." Similar 6-inch-thick slabs currently start at $445. Arnet said she recently had someone come see her who was looking for cast-off granite for a garden wall.
The years of death on the stones are from the 1960s. Current homeowner David Barsan recently bought the 1941 colonial, and he said he's not sure whether he wants to keep the walkway's stones.
