I started Smith Cemetery Service in 1995 and worked on many stones until 1998 when I decided to cut back the operation due to back problems...Please use these pages as a reference to repair the stones in your area, maybe even start your own Cemetery Repair business.   All it takes is some basic equipment, a little know how, and an appreciation for the historical value of these tombstones.  ( A good back comes in handy too! )  Get a crew together and go for it!  I am still available for consultations and smaller repair projects.
