RESTORATION PROJECT INFORMATIONSave Our Cemeteries carries out restorations work regularly as part of its mission of cemetery preservation. Grants, donations, tours and fundraisers support these projects. Projects include restoring abandoned tombs, landscaping, and making capital improvements. Cemeteries where we have recently conducted work include St. Louis No. I, St. Louis No. II, Lafayette No. I and Valence Street Cemetery. We also provide tomb owners and cemetery operators with information outlining proper restoration techniques suitable for historic tombs. Cemetery clean-ups are another important activity of the organization. The purpose of this program is to help keep the cemeteries clean and visitable through volunteer clean-up events. SOC encourages community participation from individual volunteers, church, school, corporate and civic groups. Clean ups can be designed as three hour or three day initiatives that target certain needs at a given cemetery. Donated supplies and equipment help SOC maximize the impact of these events.
