To say nothing of men with bad aim.

Hey, it was just a suggestion.  We are in the late design phase of a project where we're trying to get LEED certified so we're looking for any opportunity to recycle the stuff in the existing building.  They were just talking about using the marble partitions for flooring or some such scheme (or maybe use them in another building as toilet partitions) so it came to mind.

It just occured to me that the idea of burning off a cemetary could give the occupants the idea that they didn't fare so well with St. Peter...

The real problem is that the sample would have already been contaminated by
every cleaning agent known to man so it would be impossible to know which
caused deterioration, the cleaning agents or the heat.  Ruth

(some made from old marble like recycled maybe toilet partitions) Bruce,
these would probably not be thick enough for a proper test.
