Volunteerism at cemeteries; particularly at older smaller cemeteries that have less resources than their larger counterparts, is quite crucial to have in order to keep routine maintenance going without interruptions.

So it is that news of volunteer opportunities should be welcomed by those looking to not only participate to help a cause at a needy cemetery, but also to further their own experience to become better trained hands-on cemetery volunteers. This is true because as we know good intentions alone are not enough for volunteers to have for conducting tasks unless they gain experience using proper products and do no harm methods when working with grave markers. There are also additional tasks required at gravesites.

This volunteer opportunity at the Stow Street Cemetery in Kent, Portage County, Ohio (listed on Find A Grave as Stow Street Cemetery AKA Pioneer Cemetery) is described as:
"Volunteers typically “adopt” a grave or family plot, clearing it of weeds and perhaps planting flowers or other foliage in time for Memorial Day."
