Preservation of historic cemeteries is the effort to protect and maintain these sites, which serve as important cultural and historical landmarks. This involves safeguarding grave markers, monuments, and the landscape, ensuring they withstand environmental damage and decay. Preservation can include restoration work, documentation of burial records, and community engagement to raise awareness. By maintaining these cemeteries, we honor the memories of those interred, respect local histories, and provide educational opportunities for future generations, fostering a deeper understanding of our shared past.
