headstone preservation

Headstone preservation involves maintaining and protecting gravestones from deterioration caused by weather, pollution, and biological growth. This process includes cleaning the stone carefully to remove dirt, moss, and lichen without damaging it, and sometimes applying protective treatments to prevent further weathering. Preservation also involves repairing or stabilizing broken or leaning stones to ensure they remain upright and intact. The goal is to respect the monument’s historical and emotional significance while preventing further damage, helping to ensure the headstone endures for future generations to remember loved ones and history vibrantly and accurately.
