I need to ask, how does someone end up in a position where they have a *spare* headstone?
Why are you trying to repurpose a headstone ?
Was someone a bit too eager for grandma to die
Use it as a kitchen worktop
You’d have to turn it upside down, of course, so that it didn’t reveal the details of the dead, in recessed lettering. Which would also collect crumbs
Keep it, you might need it in the future
Paint the flat portion with chalkboard paint, would make a cool little notice board
Put it in the garage. You or anyone you know will eventually need it.
Do you not…..need it any more?
I’d try donate it to a charity, church, stone mason or via Facebook if that was easiest. Its completely useless unless you have stone Mason tools. It would be a shame for it to be wasted.
Pastry rolling block. Pastry likes things chilly.
Start the new ten commandments
“What you are now, we once were. What we are now, you will become” 💀💀🪦
carve a flower store sign into it and paint in the letters and paint the flowers
I want the story of why you have an unused headstone
Really effective paperweight
Incorporate it in a water feature for your garden. Moss/algae might soften up its appearance in time.
“I Ate’nt Dead”
Smash it up to use for Warhammer terrain and bases, sell assorted chunks for cheap online.
Cheeseboard
Karate competition
I’d lay it flat and use it as a base for a large plant pot of similar colour / material.
Slice it threewise, lay the pieces end to end and you’d have the lion’s share of the work surface for a poggenpohl kitchen
Just be patient.
It’s got to be a cheeseboard
No solicitors!
Unless you want to join the last one
Put your own name on it with past dates, stick it up out the back and take a picture of it.
Then go round agitated with said photo, saying you need to get in touch with Doc Brown.and asking if anyone has seen a DeLorean around.

I think a better question is “why?”.
Pizza stone. Heat it on a bonfire.
Get the house number carved on it
Carve something in Latin on it and bury it in a field somewhere, see if you can puzzle an archeologist
Have a suitable epigram engraved on it and use it as a cheeseboard?
“If you ask for Baby bel this will be repurposed” – only witty.
Leave it by the kerb with “Free garden ornament” sign on it. Some batty old gardener will take it.
Paint it green and use it as a subbuteo table
Decorate the front and make it a creative Halloween decoration
Decorative lid for the toilet cistern
The worlds worst cutting board.
It must be wondered how you came into possession of this item
Donate it to charity? Someone who’s just lost a relative but can’t afford a funeral might be glad of it. See if this crowd have any use for it?

If you sliced that up, you’d hove most of the work surface for a Poggenpohl kitchen.
Why would you make a headstone out of something “not the best for engraving”?
Glue a mirror on it and maybe engravings if it is not too cost effective and place it in the garden behind a rose bush or pond.
Engrave it with “here lies the previous courier who messed up my Amazon delivery.”
Then enjoy trouble free deliveries from now on.
Engrave your name on it, and keep it as your own personal [Momento Mori](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memento_mori).
Don’t. Simply keep it as a warning.
Get your own name carved into it
Kill someone to put a use to it

Use it as a cheeseboard at parties.
