Exploring Almost Forgotten Gravesites in the Great State of Ohio

Dedicated to cemetery preservation in the great state of Ohio


"A cemetery may be considered as abandoned when all or practically all of the bodies have been Removed therefrom and no bodies have been buried therein for a great many years, and the cemetery has been so long neglected as entirely to lose its identity as such, and is no longer known, recognized and respected by the public as a cemetery. 1953 OAG 2978."

Sharing the latest news from Gravestone Transformations of Circleville, Ohio

Sharing this Facebook Page from Gravestone Transformations of Circleville, Ohio; a company that does gravestone preservation work throughout Ohio.
Tackling the larger multi-piece monuments can be tricky work requiring equipment that is appropriate for the task at hand.
In Ohio, we don't have many professionals who handle this type of work.
Please keep in mind that monument company workers' expertise lies with handling newer granite monuments.
The older marble, limestone and sandstone monuments require more attention and greater carefulness due to the age and fragile nature of the monument.
Truly, there are more cemeteries in need of immediate gravestone care in Ohio, and throughout America, than there are people properly trained, experienced, who conduct their work skillfully and honor their commitments,
AND
who always adhere to the Do No Harm best practices set forth by the NCPTT to handle their needs.
