Grave Marker Cleaning Workshops
Hands-on Workshops promoting proper grave marker maintenance
These hands-on, two-four hour workshops are conducted by cemetery preservationist, Shannon Justice. The workshops include a brief presentation reviewing different stone types, how to evaluate a stone for cleaning, types of debris and biological growth found on grave markers, and proper cleaning techniques, followed by on-site hands-on instruction and grave marker cleaning. Shannon and other members of History Walks, LLC will be on site to supervise and give direction and instruction while workshop attendees clean grave markers |
Cost of workshops vary depending upon location and attendance, but generally run between $200-$400 for a 2-4 hour workshop on-site at your cemetery.
