A prefabricated cast-concrete cross tombstone becomes a handmade tribute by wrapping a wooden board with strong ranch-fence wire around the crossbar of the concrete cross. Ready-made metal letters nailed into the wood spells out the name of the dear departed and the identities of those who made this handmade tombstone in his honor.

The tombstone reads as follows:

"RAFAEL GARZA
De Eposa y Hijos"

RAFAEL GARZA
From his wife and sons"
