My method is:
I have about 6-8" of scavanged copper tubing glued into the stone. PVC/Conduit would also work
I have a piece of plywood cut to size of the botton of the tombstone.
4 holes are drilled into the plywood.
4 6" spikes are put into the plywood, 2 up, 2 down and the two down ones are pounded into the ground. The two up stakes are secured into position (and angle) by one or two 8-10p nails driven down to fille any gaps in the hole.
It's cheaper than rebar for me since I have the stakes left over from a landscaping project involving railroad ties and the stones take weird angles.
