I like the dog helper :)

Hello to my small group of followers. I apologize for not being on here more and answering questions in a more timely manner. I work constantly at a regular job and run the family Cemetery & Heritage Foundation that takes care of 3 old private family cemeteries here in Alexander County, North Carolina and we also work on monuments in many church cemeteries in our area because our ancestors are buried in most of them in 4 different surrounding Counties here in Western North Carolina Foothills & Mountains. I have some other video and photos that I will be posting soon to share with everyone. I am a member of the Sons of the American Revolution here as well and we do lots of "Grave Marking" commemorations throughout our area and I will be sharing some of those marker preparations with you and show before and after photos on some of the 2 century old markers we work on. More coming soon and thanks for your patience!

thanksdoc Respect to the channel goodvibes We were born sinners.. Regardless thank you for keeping the memory of those who past. And the hard work cleaning the stones.... Need more thoughtful people like yourself in this world..... Respect to you.. Remembering the good and the bad & cleaning the ugly

Looks great, wonderful thing to do for the departed

Hi, I didn't catch the product you are using to spray on the marker to start the cleaning process...my husband and I also, go to our ancestors resting places to clean grave and markers. We found a PRODUCT called "WET IT AND FORGET IT" , we found all you need to do is spray on stone leave for few days and when you return the stone is BEAUTIFUL and absolutely clean, without scraping, scrubbing, and rinsing off. We cleaned the first stone 4 years ago and they all are still clean today. This product is safe to animals and the environment.

Here's a CAUTION!!! NEVER use any acid or ammonia solutions to clean older markers made of marble or soapstone. This will do damage to the marker(s) and the solution gets into the pores of the stone and is activated each time it rains and will continue to break down the bonding elements of the stone itself and over time will continue to cause damage and degradation of the inscription on the marker. The more modern markers are mostly made of hard granite and are not harmed like the older more porous stone. Some newer markers are still made of marble so be sure of the type of stone the marker is made of BEFORE you start any cleaning process. D2 Cleaner does activate each time it rains BUT is NOT harmful to the structure of the stone. It takes longer to clean a marker with D2 but it is not harmful to stone, people, grass, plants or pets and other animals. Its cleaning process continues each time it gets wet and after initial cleaning I use it twice a year with just a spray over and let nature take its course to continue to keep then marker(s) clean. Follow the directions. You'll be wasting it if you apply it during clod weather. Temperatures need to be 65 degrees or higher for it to work its magic.

When her head’s shadow was on the head stone I was like “literal head stone now” haha

RESPECT , i love it

How wonderful.

Use D2 solution and no metal scrubs use plastic brushes

Good job!

You should go to a landscape place and buy half a pickup load of dirt and add it around the bottom of those headstones. Smooth it all up with a garden rake.

I hope you are still around and can answer this. Where is this? You mentioned this was also a Thompson Cemetery. My mom's maiden name is Thompson. She is buried in California, where I am at. Her father and grandfather are buried in Ada, Missouri. I believe her grandfather, my great grandfather, a Thompson, came from Illinois.

thanks for the video- I would like to see Before and After Photos- also monuments are not too difficult to level up- see some videos from Tombstone Jack... on you tube.

Statesville? Are you located in NC? I’ve been taking some pics for Find A Grave and found your video while trying to learn to clean the markers. I don’t think I can get D2 from a store anywhere around here?

best is white vinegar mixed with bio washing powder make a paste and leave it on (after you spread it all round) i used last time bleach and washing powder problem is when its clean im going to put perspex with silicone round it to protect it from bits of grass clipings etc that blacken stone i thought to varnish but afraid will deteriorate with sun

I advise you, my beloved, and you, the owner of the beautiful clip, are following Dr. Zakir Naik 💐

Next time please add narrative later. The back ground noises detracted from this.

Dogs don't belong in a cemetery.
