Gravestone Conservation

Gravestone conservation involves the preservation and restoration of gravestones to maintain their historical value and aesthetic beauty. This process includes cleaning, repairing, and stabilizing the stones to prevent further deterioration caused by weather, pollution, or physical damage. Conservationists use techniques that respect the original materials and craftsmanship while ensuring the gravestones remain safe for visitors. The goal is to honor the memory of those interred, safeguard cultural heritage, and keep the resting places respectful and accessible for future generations.
