Care shall be taken to wrap the bar or tool to ensure it does not damage or mar the headstone. A second person shall stand in the same row/column approximately 10 headstones distant to instruct which direction the subject headstone should be adjusted. Once the headstone has been satisfactorily adjusted so it is in alignment with the other headstones in the same row and column, a tamping tool shall be used to tamp around the base of the headstone so soil is compacted sufficiently to prevent shifting.
