Y2k Strikes From the Grave

From AP 02/27/98:
"Here's another, little-known problem that will arrive with the year 2000: what to do with those prepaid gravestones that are already carved with a "19" where the year of the person's death goes.

"The '19' is found mostly on companion stones, usually purchased when one spouse dies and the other wants to reserve the adjacent plot. The next two digits are supposed to be carved in when the person dies."
