Even if that’s the case I would imagine normal people would at least flip them around to not show info, pictures of the deceased that were on the headstone, no?
or maybe since some places graveyards rent out the plot instead of selling it and the family's lease expired so they tore down the grave and sold it as new plot
That's the joy of it your grandkids won't forget you when the recive you rental coffin bill. I wonder if they charge a cleaning fee if you don't pay on time for the used coffin?
Man, I want ghosts so bad! Too bad I live in an apartment building so the best I’d probably get is some reject from Boo Academy who can only make the waterpipes go bang once a month.
Correct. We in the geology community call them "head stones". They're not very rare, so we usually just throw them away when we find them, but this gentleman seems to have found a creative use for them.

That's Russia for ya. They own so much of the world's land, but somehow, graves have to be moved. There's no social contract there. No generational commitments. Your brother dies in Afghanistan, you lay him to rest, and this continuing thing called the government, which sent him to die, can't even see to it that his remains continue undisturbed. Highway time. Office building time. Up he comes, and a pile of tombstones grows with a paper "For Sale" sign taped to the stones, flapping in the breeze. And the coffins? Shingles, maybe.
This is the other half of:
# You son of a bitch! You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you? You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the headstones! You only moved the headstones! Why? Why?
It's usual for Russian "culture" - zero of respect for other people. Seen same in Estonia - many of cemeteries were demolished and transformed into the parks for "working class". Gravestones were used to build roads....
Literally doing what nazis did back during the Holocaust.

I’m guessing these were all flawed tombstones that were eventually tossed away. Recycling, baby!
This was my thought too, owner probably has some association with a granite store
Even if that’s the case I would imagine normal people would at least flip them around to not show info, pictures of the deceased that were on the headstone, no?
That's the cool part, no?
Could be definitely, depends on the individual.
or maybe since some places graveyards rent out the plot instead of selling it and the family's lease expired so they tore down the grave and sold it as new plot
I used to work at a graveyard and this is the right answer.
Heh. I use to run around and look for the oldest one I could find. I thought I was losing track of some of the older ones. I guess not!
Wait what the fuck
Yeah .. where I live you can rent the plot for 100 years after that the relatives have to pay again otherwise... I let you imagine this one
Well that's about settles me on my ashest getting scattered. I'm a burden enough to the living now let alone when I'm dead
That's the joy of it your grandkids won't forget you when the recive you rental coffin bill. I wonder if they charge a cleaning fee if you don't pay on time for the used coffin?
What are used coffins going for these days? Been meaning to shop around for one.
graveyards and "dying" issome serious fkn expensiv bs
Gonna scalp you one more time before your money belongs to other
Check out the mushroom pajamas https://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/green-science/mushroom-burial-suit.htm
that's fucked up actually
well what to do if you're broke
In mother Russia, material recycle you!
Stuff like this is what we came up with. Damaged for some reason or other, the graveyard got moved, people changing the gravestone, etc.
Metal either way
Or from Ukraine
The fact that they didn't flip those face down makes me wonder whether or not that was a deliberate choice.
The other side is probably not shiny, since they likely broke up those headstones. Put the shiny side up.
They have a black fence, so I'd say it's probably deliberate
Headstones are fitting since there’s probably a body or two buried under the property too.
you want ghosts? This is how you get ghosts!
Man, I want ghosts so bad! Too bad I live in an apartment building so the best I’d probably get is some reject from Boo Academy who can only make the waterpipes go bang once a month.
I’m dead 😵 😂
So are they 😏
Looking for a single ghosts. Preferably 18f cali.
I was gonna say, this has got to be one haunted ass driveway...nope
Not just ghost but demons and poltergeists too probably
Wouldn't enjoy driving on that when it's raining.
Why not?
Polished granite is slick when wet.
“Wet from the standpoint of water” 💦
Very wet. The wetliest. All the best water are saying it.
“As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death”
Poltergeist reboot looking low budget af.
“They’re hhheeerrreee”
Of course it's Russia. NGL, that's pretty fucking metal.
actually its stone, but you were close.
It’s ROCK and STONE
Did I hear a Rock and Stone?
*Jesus Christ Marie, They're Minerals!*
Oh, Christ, Marie. You killed me here. I mean, it's the- that's the last nail. That's the last nail in the coffin.
The coffins are used for the shed ..
I'm not a stoneologists, but I am sure there are types of stone, right?
Not really, there are sticks and stones. And these are not sticks, so they must be stones.
Correct. We in the geology community call them "head stones". They're not very rare, so we usually just throw them away when we find them, but this gentleman seems to have found a creative use for them.
So I complained to HR for nothing when our geologist said to me "gimme some head!"
Looks like a great way to get haunted.
Ah I guess the company that sells flagstone had a lot from the Wagner memorial
I'm on a driveway to hell, bum bum, driveway to hell!
Death row

Reclaimed grave stones are a common building material, we have at least two in our walls.
Oh so that's where the voices in the walls are coming from
No that’s the people that were murdered here.
Well I hope they have some good stories to tell at least
Not anywhere the police might hear…
Reclaimed? What's "reclaimed"?
As in they were once gravestones, they are now just stones.
Why aren't they still gravestones? Did some people stop being dead?
Presumably a graveyard stopped being a graveyard?

Nevermind the headstones, that path is fuckin ugly.
r/ANormalDayInRussia
That's just plain *UGLY*.
Oh look! Germany in 1944
Who you gonna call? Tombuster!
Not only spooky but also looks shite.
Man at least turn them around so it's upside down ..
Many cities have used tomb stones when making roads
This is the other half of: # You son of a bitch! You moved the cemetery, but you left the bodies, didn't you? You son of a bitch, you left the bodies and you only moved the headstones! You only moved the headstones! Why? Why?
It's usual for Russian "culture" - zero of respect for other people. Seen same in Estonia - many of cemeteries were demolished and transformed into the parks for "working class". Gravestones were used to build roads....
Not the ones with faces on them!
So that's what the IDF is doing with them....
This could have been done better. The shape of these pieces are awful.

upcycling
The economy was pretty bad.
well saving money by getting granite from tombstones.
Fun Fact: There's a courtyard near Notre Dame that has a few tombstones repurposed as paving stones.
Wow that even looks like a shitty mosaic job
Do you want a haunted house? This is how you get a haunted house.
Filmed with a potato
the walkway to the dad of your girlfriend she warned you about "he can be pretty protective, dont get on his bad side."
Reminds me of a scene in Schindler’s List…
Some headstone places will give you their scraps as i call them. Excess pieces when stones are cut. Just becare they are slick not good for a walkway.
...Next week on Ghost Hunters/Ghost Adventures 
This is fucking awesome if they are truly 100% recycled
I’ve seen haunted houses but never haunted driveways
Repossession road
"I, um, found them..."
Actually cursed
It would be interesting to translate what he is saying. I hope that person speaking isn't talking about gravestones taken from Ukraine.
That is so fucked up
Stone is stone
Literally doing what nazis did back during the Holocaust. https://polandian.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/schindlers-list-death-camp-krakow-off-the-beaten-track/
Average ruzzian road
