A company employee made a mistake. That should not be binding on the company. If I had relatives in that cemetery I would not want those markers either. The family has to realize that there are more families involved then just them.
The cemetery should never have approved the original stones.

I concur since a cemetery is a place for quiet introspection and nothing breaks that up like laughter.
As well they should reimburse the family for an employee mistake and learn to train their sales people in the rules before setting them loose on grieving relatives. Every company is liable for the actions of their employees unless they take the cheaters way out and incorporate as an LLC. I think the cemetery folks are being very gracious about it.
I've seen the final resting place of Jimi Hendrix and his headstone has a guitar engraved on it. It's nothing too flashy either. It's a flat surface mount jobbie to allow a mower to pass over it. They can do something similar for the two young ladies in the story.
The only oddity is the pennies and guitar picks that fans have super glued to it.
Nobody will need to worry about mine because I don't believe in owning any part of this planet. Especially land used as a garbage pit for my mummified remains.
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust and no rotting involved.
