I began cleaning tombstones in July 2020 and have cleaned more than 640 stones. I work mostly in Memphis, TN and the surrounding areas, and I research everyone whose stone I clean. Cleaning stones - and uncovering names lost to time and the elements - is a beautiful way to honor and love our ancestors.

I began cleaning gravestones a little over 3 years ago. I expanded to repairs & preservation in 2023. Since that time I have repaired, under contract, 20+ stones at Riverview Cemetery. I have leveled & reattached stones in Stewart County TN, Russellville, KY, & Lawrenceburg, TN. Many of these required the use of tripod, chain hoist, & lifting straps to move pieces back into place. I currently consult for the Tennessee State Historical Commission & MTSU's Center for Historic Preservation.
