    Beginning the Process

    Here are some steps to beginning the monument process that we hope you find helpful.

    1. Determine if your cemetery has any regulations regarding what type and size monument we're allowed to install for you. Contact us if you need assistance with this.
    2. Contact us to set up a time to speak further, either in-person, over the phone, or over email to discuss your monument.
    3. We will discuss design elements, names and dates to be included on the monument, and Michael's anticipated timeline for completion. All elements of the monument, installation, and relevant details will be outlined in a contract for you.
  • Historic Cemetery Restoration

    Michael has extensive experience in cemetery restoration and loves bringing these important monuments back to life. In the unfortunate cases where they cannot be restored, Michael can create historically accurate replacements. Please contact us to talk more to Michael about your restoration project.

    Repairs

    Here we have a fully restored brownstone obelisk that Michael worked on in a southern Connecticut historic cemetery. Below you can see some of the before pictures, showing the delamination from years of water damage, and the freeze/thaw cycles so common in New England.

    Replacements

    Below is a nearly completely degraded brownstone tablet. Unfortunately this one was beyond repair, and we created a completely new replacement stone, as historically accurate as possible in terms of material and design. The original stone, with the burying ground's permission, was set behind the replacement.

    Headstone Cleaning

    The brownstone monument below was covered in lichen. A simple, gentle solution that we apply after the stone has been wet down, and some light brushing brought Mr. Langdon's memorial back to much of its original splendor.
