if you can lift the top to put it back on buy a bag of MORTOR mix, you will need a large pan some water, a large putty knife, mix the mortor till it,s a little stiff like penut butter but stiffer, wet the surface of the standing bricks, lay a layer of mortor about 1/2 inch thick all around set the top back on, clean up drippings ,
cost around $40 ,

If the bottom is structurally sound you can probably just re- brick the top. Possibly you can use most of the old brick by stripping the old mortar its hard to match bricks batch to batch any way. I have done this many times its not easy. I would get an estimate from a mason I don't think a repair like this is a DIY project.

yeah, it is expensive. See if you can find a mason to just look at it and consult about putting the two pieces back together. Try in the phonebook with any of the brick builders.
