Any Mason's on here?

I recently found my Gran and Grandads resting place but the headstone is in a bit of a state as they've been dead 60 years

There is a section of it about 10 inch square thats starting to split away from he headstone itself so water/ice is getting behind it and probably wont stand up to another winter.
I thought about getting some fence post cement and running it into the split.
Has anyone got a better solution

cant seem to upload pics of it

Super Stone Glue & Polyester Resin Hardener,
or Jolly Natural Stone Glue.

There are plenty other makes out there.
