The pilot entered the traffic pattern and an extended downwind leg was performed to allow for sufficient spacing between another airplane on the runway. On final approach, full flaps were added and power was reduced to 1,500 rpm. On short final he 'appeared a little low' and had a 'higher sink rate than he was happy with.' Power was added to stop the descent, and about 30 feet short of the runway threshold, the nosewheel of the airplane struck a gravestone, and the underside of the fuselage impacted a monument. The pilot continued the approach, and landed approximately 100 feet down the length of the runway.
Probable Cause: The pilot's not maintaining a proper glidepath during the visual approach to the runway.
