Marianne Greenfield, proprietor of Gravestone Cleaning Service will instruct up to 16 participants on the proper techniques of caring for gravestones. She will begin with a quick talk about the only recommended method of cleaning and then the hands-on portion of the workshop will begin. Expect to get a bit dirty - the results will be worth it!
Each participant is asked to bring the following:
1. New, clean plastic pail.
2. New nylon or plastic bristle scrub brush (be sure it fits in your hand in the pail). Both pail and brush can be from the dollar store.
3. One pair of new, unused wooden chopsticks.
4. A gallon jug of water (used to clean the gravestones as there is limited water access at this cemetery).
5. Own drinking water, insect repellent, bag lunch or snack, if needed.
Over the past year, many plans have changed due to the pandemic, but we are extremely grateful to still be able to offer our gravestone cleaning workshops. When you arrive, please keep in mind to maintain a proper social distance from other participants, avoid sharing tools, and wear a mask when in close proximity to others.
Contact Nicole at [email protected] if you have any questions and/or to reserve one of the 16 sponsored spaces.
