How about stenciling the numbers on with dark paint?

I hired the guy who does grave markers to engrave mine. He used a sandblaster and a stencil. Then he used some sort of rock stain inside the engraving. He did it right in my yard since the rock is huge. The equipment is portable because they have to be able to go to the grave site to put on the death date.

The picture is a couple years old. The plants have grown and were moved around some, so it looks better now.

Jugglerguy - that rock is very, very classy!

Thanks Gottagarden. I just went out and took a couple more pictures. The maple on the left died and I replaced it with a Korean Maple.
