Don’t you get satisfaction knowing you will be long gone and that stone will still be standing? I cleaned a horribly dirty stone from 1888. I smiled when I thought, “Now it will need cleaning in the year 2160!” Your work is marked in time. Thank you for honoring these departed people by cleaning and repairing their monuments. ❤❤❤❤
It is such a beautiful thing that you are doing!! By cleaning, fixing these headstones you are paying your respects to the people that are buried here. You are so awesome!!!! I am just amazed by your kindness!!!!!
I love what you're doing, and I love that you talk about the lives of the people whose monuments you're re-setting. Do you offer apprenticeship to learn these techniques? We have an unmaintained old cemetery nearby and I would love to learn how to reset the toppled stones.
Excellent video! I need to "reset" a very small stone and so went to the links you provided to learn what "monument setting compound" I needed to get only to find that the "atlaspreservation" site no longer works. Perhaps you can simply tell me what type of a "bonding agent" I need to get to attach a small "upright/tablet type" stone to a cement foundation.
Things here in Canada are very different, with respect to cemeteries. You need to contact the Municipal Council to enquire. You cannot show up anywhere and start cleaning/resetting stones. Some cemeteries are run by the Municipalities and some by volunteers.
@@joycegifford8826 Thank you for your response, I was assuming in any jurisdiction you would need permission whether from the cemetery, the family or estate, or anyone else overseeing the grave site. My main question is learning the skills to do this properly, cleanly, and as professionally as possible without the ability to use trial and error to learn these skills. If there was a way to partner with someone doing this so the skills could be shared with those willing to extend this service to those unattended graves or those belonging to families unable to pay someone to fix fallen, damaged, or otherwise in need of help stones.

You are a Blessing to those who are gone and have nobody to take care of the fallen headstones.

Thank you for what you do!!!!!
Is there another piece that would have fit on that post on the top?
whats the rolled up putty youre using to stick the top back on the base
How can someone reach out to you, I'd like to learn more about what you do and how. I'm looking to see if I can do similar work here in Canada

The link to the resetting kit no longer works
Do you do this for a living or purely for love?
