The Cemetery Conservators for United Standards a 501 c3 nonprofit organization, is asking for donations to help cemeteries in need of historic preservation. The CCUS is choosing needy cemeteries one cemetery at a time with short attainable goals of financial help set at $3,200 per cemetery.
Meeting this goal will allow the CCUS to provide that cemetery with an entire package of preservation goods such as lime mortars, epoxies, infill material, biological cleaners, and tools necessary for “do no harm” preservation. The cemetery in need will also receive a 2-day training class covering the 6 basics of preservation or more advanced techniques. Training will be given by a CCUS Approved Conservator who will also help with the short and long range goals of the group performing the cemetery preservation.
