When the seller of a memorial stone agrees to erect a stone upon a foundation, the total gross receipts from the sale, including the erection of the foundation, are taxable.
Charges for inscription or work incidental to preparing a stone for a customer are subject to tax. Charges for inscription upon a stone subsequent to erection are sales of service rendered in the alteration of tangible personal property and not subject to sales tax.
