Cemetery Conservation Class + Essentials Starter Kit

Learn how to Conserve our Nation’s Cemeteries with the Millennial Stone Cleaner Cemetery Conservation Class

Whether you want to restore your loved one’s broken and dirty headstone or volunteer to care for your local cemetery, the Cemetery Conservation Class will teach you exactly how with online, self-paced modules on ethical conservation, cemetery landscapes, how to clean, reset tablet stones, and more. 

Don’t Let Our Nation’s Cemeteries Fade into the Past

Cemeteries always have well-meaning caretakers but rarely with great training. Headstones get dirty, fall over, and broken, leaving families aching for their loved ones to be taken care of even in death.

Flat markers sink, plantings overrun plots, headstones get pushed over, and rodents wreak havoc on the grounds – leaving so much work to be done. 

The good news is that you can help, just like I do! That’s why I created the Cemetery Conservation Class.

Finally, a Comprehensive Resource on Cemetery Conservation

When I first started cemetery conservation, there was little to no information readily available online…

I spent years going to libraries, searching forums, and scouring through inaccurate, outdated & conflicting information.

Through perseverance and a passion for the craft, I took classes in various parallel fields, read textbooks, and finally got confident enough to start hands-on practice. 

It was a TON of work… I spent countless hours and thousands upon thousands of dollars learning how to:

• Restore headstones safely, without risk of further damage
  
• Ethically conserve cemeteries with permission and respect
  
• Preserve cemeteries with a combination of complex skills
  

To put it simply, I didn’t have a comprehensive resource…

But you do. 

I packed everything I’ve learned into a self-paced, online class so you can quickly, easily, and effectively learn cemetery conservation. Then, I combined it with a community and personalized guidance from me! 

What’s Included in the Cemetery Conservation Class & Community?

The class is divided into 8 modules that build upon each other, setting up a foundation for learning this lifelong skill. Each one is self-paced, so you can learn in your free time. 

Lesson 1: Conservation Fundamentals, Ethics and Getting Permission

The first lesson gets our minds centered around the ethics and fundamentals that underpin all of our work. After all, cemetery conservation is all about respect for history, community, and ancestry.

Lesson 2: Cemetery Landscapes

Learn about the different types of monuments found in historic cemeteries and their common issues, identifying different stones and materials. We’ll also look at conservation plans.

Lesson 3: How To Clean

Get your hands dirty, literally, learning how to clean a stone with biological growth and other debris.

Lesson 4: Resetting A Flat Marker

Flat lawn markers can easily disappear from the landscape. Learn how to bring them back up so loved ones can easily find and visit their ancestors. 

Lesson 5: Lifting and Rigging

Learn to move a stone that is too heavy to lift by hand without damaging yourself or the stone.
