Can anyone tell me how the American authorities manage to cut the grass around their headstones without damaging the headstones?

A whipper-snipper? scissors?

Very carefully :lol:

No sign of "nature" areas there, Derek.

Seriously, when you see some of the "strimmed" stones in some of our churchyards :(

They do it with great care!

When you see the number of people they employ, they have plenty of time.

The cemetery at Montfaucon, for example, employ 28 people full time and more in Summer.
