There are various fixing methods depending on the ground conditions, headstone size etc. As long as the correct procedure if followed then the headstone should be securely fixed and not prove to be a hazard.
A significant benefit to this system is that if you require addition inscriptions in the future the headstone is efficiently removed without damage to the base.
