Smith’s conservation work in the Heidelberg UCC cemetery is physically demanding and includes clearing brush, repairing broken memorials and resetting fallen monuments. He follows up his efforts of preservation by hand-scrubbing the gravestones to make them legible again. Mark Smith of Gravestone Transformations was initially drawn to the Fairfield County cemetery because he grew up in the area. After viewing the marble headstones scattered throughout the cemetery, however, he became more passionate about preserving Heidelberg.

Cemetery preservation at Pontius UMC takes investigative skills, persistence and epoxy. Determination and care are helping to make a Pickaway County cemetery whole again. A dedicated preservationist, Mark Smith of Gravestone Transformations, started the cemetery conservation and preservation project at Pontius United Methodist Church Cemetery earlier this year, but doesn’t expect to finish it before next winter. #SaveOurCemeteries, #SaveOurHistory, #MakeCemeteriesSafe
