This gentleman is so knowledgeable on monuments and repair techniques. I would love to organize a team in my town to make repairs to the headstones that have fallen or are about to fall. The information on the "White Bronze" headstones was very interesting. My profile picture shows one of these that stands approximately 20 feet tall.
Really appreciate evaluating each stone and the various applications. Excellent information and perspective! Thanks so much! I have worked several years at a church cemetery and a National Cemetery and am currently looking to take conservation steps at a family cemetery.
Did anyone overseeing cemeteries or interments keep plot records of who was buried where? Would that be a way to provide a replacement tombstone for those that have deteriorated beyond restoration?
So, does the speaker ever say what mortar is "compatible" with marble, granite or limestone? Would suspect that mortar used in the 19th century would simply be sand and hydrated lime. Could this type of mortar be used to piece together a broken tombstone?
Historic pointing mortar. Can be found on the atlaspreservation website. But that is mainly visual, it should be epoxied together in the center using something like akemi akepox 5010

That stone that’s broken low can be repaired and still look good and strong

People who insist on placing rebar in concrete should look at minute 4 of this video.
Too much yacking & too little action.
He’s conducting a training class…he can hardly be an effective instructor without talking. You should try listening.
