Providing there is space available on the existing headstone, we can do an additional inscription.

If there is no space available we can remove the headstone and re-polish the front face of the headstone (as long as the front face is a flat surface) and start with a new inscription.

We can remove the existing headstone and replace it with a new headstone.
