Abstract
The rotating headstone comprises a headstone, a rotator, and a top cover. The rotator may move the headstone between a vertical position and a horizontal position to move the headstone out of the way of landscaping crews and equipment. The rotator may comprise a plurality of pistons that expand and contract to move the top and bottom of the headstone and racks and pinions to guide the bottom of the headstone. In the horizontal position, the headstone may lie within a shell that is below ground level. When in the vertical position, the headstone may be exposed above ground and the top cover may cover the opening left by the vertical headstone. The repositioning may be initialed by a local button or by a wireless remote control. The rotator may be powered by one or more batteries which are kept charged by one or more solar cells.
