ANN ARBOR, Mich. - A walkway made of face-down grave stones may be unsettling, but there's no sinister past to the morbid material at an Ann Arbor home.
.
The grave stones were discovered Thursday as workers removed granite pavers at the home while preparing for a sewer line replacement.
.
The markers were inscribed with names and biographical details.
.
Daneen Mabley, who lived in the home until 2003, tells The Ann Arbor News in a Saturday story that the walkway was already installed when her family moved into the house a quarter-century before.
.
She says the some 60 slabs all had typos, misspellings or miscuts, which is why the home's previous owners used them for paving.
.
Local monument makers say recycling such sturdy, high-quality granite material is fairly common.
