The website of "R.I.P." has been recently updated to include a very nice slideshow gallery of before restoration and after restoration photographs of gravestones that have been cleaned, repaired, and re-set that show remarkable results of improvement in the appearance of the gravestones' inscriptions.
The lettering and dates of several markers were unreadable prior to the completion of the restoration work.
Click HERE to link to the slideshow photo gallery where you can scroll down to view the moving photographs from the before view to the after view of each gravestone.
