This photo depicts the "standard" grave" configuration in most Orthodox and Eastern Catholic parishes. Do any of the Ruthenian and Ukrainian churches in the Anthracite Coal region put up the faux rock or stone graves that were so prevelent in years past?

Our church in Joliet used to but that was well over 10 years ago, probably more like 12-13 years ago. While it wasn't traditional I liked it then (I was about 6 or 7).
