<p>A Swedish family renovating their living room was shocked to discover a two-metre gravestone, dating back to the 1800s, hiding under the floorboards.</p>.<p><br />The family in Fuglie, southern Sweden, found the hefty gravestone, around 10 centimetres thick, tucked in under the floor.<br /><br />"I was quite surprised. And my wife is still getting over the shock. It's the last thing I could imagine finding under my floorboards," Gert Nilsson told 'The Local'.<br /><br />"We have no idea how we're going to get it out. It's huge - it must weigh 300 kilogrammes," Nilsson said.<br /><br />Nilsson explained that his house is "a pretty old one" and that the floors are directly on the ground.<br /><br />The family looked up the three names engraved on the headstone and found they belonged to people who'd likely owned the property in the late 1800s.<br /><br />The stone had the names of two men and a woman who died in 1843, 1851, and 1884 respectively. </p>
