Recognize the Need for Restoration
Cemetery monuments endure years of exposure to the elements, which can lead to fading, cracking, or structural wear. Families should periodically assess the condition of their memorials to ensure inscriptions remain legible and the stone maintains its integrity.
Evaluate Materials and Conditions
Different materials age differently. Granite, marble, and bronze each have unique characteristics and require specialized techniques for restoration. Understanding the material’s condition is essential before beginning any repair, cleaning, or preservation work. This ensures the restoration process protects the monument rather than inadvertently causing damage.
