The Restoration Plan

01

Tree Removal

Professional removal of the large pine trees whose roots and weight are actively threatening the gravestones. This is the most urgent and costly phase of the work.

02

Perimeter Fencing

Installation of a durable perimeter fence to protect the cemetery from further encroachment and to clearly mark the sacred boundary of the grounds.

03

Gravestone Restoration

Cleaning, stabilization, and where possible, restoration of damaged or fallen markers. Documentation of every stone for the permanent record.

04

Ongoing Maintenance

Establishment of a maintenance endowment so the cemetery is never abandoned again — regular mowing, inspection, and care in perpetuity.
