Answer 1

Get a tube of good construction adhesive and a caulking gun and it will bond it permanently.Just make sure the marble is clean for a good bond.

Answer 2

I hate to say this but you had better check at the cemetary first if it is allowed, they may make you remove it. The rules are ridiculous these days. My Mum bought some silk pyjamas to be cremated in, after planning her own funeral and afterwards we found out that she wasn't allowed to be dressed in them because of 'emissions'!!!

Answer 3

you need a good epoxy for gluing what is likely to be 2 disimilar surfaces. Super glue deffo wont do it.

Try ARALDITE! available from any good hardware store.

comes in a double barrel tube - 1 of base 1 of hardner -mix the 2 as instructed (equal quantities) apply to both area's making sure they're clean and leave for a few hours to set properly. full cure will take a whole day - will cost u about a fiver

Hope it works

Answer 4

Hello Maggie, sorry we have to meet this way but perhaps i can help you. Go to your local garden centre and ask for some aquarium glass sealant - it's brilliant, it's clear and does the job right , first time! It needs about 40 mins to 'go-off''  and then it would need a bulldozer to remove it. The problems with vandals could be sorted out if we chopped their damned hands off! It would only happen to a few before the other cretins cottoned on! God Bless.

Answer 5

Go to Home despot and get some THIN SET. its for tile. Mix it an set figure with it. Clean around it with damp sponge. But if vandals want to remove it they would just kick it. Its a shame but it happens. In a place most consider HOLY GROUND>or HALLOWED>

Answer 6

Gorilla glue

Answer 7

strong adhesive like super glue should work
