I’ve taken over 10,000 photos in cemeteries for Findagrave and yet I have never dug a single hole. I’m living vicariously through your videos and your dedication to preservation. Thanks for sharing.

[@JeanJetensky1974]

I am a first time watcher and I just wanted to say thank you for doing this. The people in the grave may be gone bit they are NOT forgotten. They were somebody's grandma,granddad,mom,Dad,or somebody's baby. I hope after I am gone someone will take care of my mom,and dads grave.

[@sherribauch5481]

I love how you approach your work with respect and honor for not just the headstones but the person who is buried there and the person’s story. Thank you.

You’re looking like an archeologist today. When in doubt, dig it out! 😊 You’re a good teacher and narrator as well. Massive admiration. 💙💙💙💙

[@stevejarrettnc]

That is some GREAT black soil. Here in North Carolina you’d run away screaming - because it’s all red clay…. And when it’s dry, it’s like digging concrete.

As an archeologist, I have worked on a number of cemeteries. I have done everything from minor restoration, documenting & mapping, to exhumation. The smallest cemetery I documented had 5 burials all of which were marked with simple field stones. Keep up the good work of restoring our past.

[@andreacook7431]

I did archaeological field school. We used the square shovels and sharpened them with a grinder. You could skim millimeters of soil with those. You might think about that.

You would be arrested in the uk for doing what your doing

[@TheTropicalsummer]

Why are you doing this , I don’t understand

[@maidenminnesota1]

Curious if that old glass isn't the faceplate from an old Fisk coffin? That would mean, though, that there are no burial vaults, or at least not at that grave. One thing I've learned, is that I will leave in my final statement of wishes to not have a marble headstone. Sad that once those stones are completely gone, so can be, in too many cases, any record that the person existed. That's the true and final death.

[@Stephanie-ln7rc]

I think it's wonderful that you do this. It shows respect for the forgotten.

[@PhilipStephan]

What a wonderful and dedicated cemetery to watch for potential plots that need repair. This to me shows me that the owners of the cemetery care about the people that have been laid to rests dignity.

[@DMC8707]

Cemetery people would thank you for take care of their tombstone fixed and respect! 😊

[@cherylradabaugh2720]

For you complaining about where he's putting the soil at .

[@cmg6848]

It will be a long job but will be very satisfying to do and will undoubtedly look spectacular once the project is completed.

[@hurricanebee1140]

I happen to love graveyards and use to sit by the graves to contemplate life, it’s a great place for it. The moment I knew what you were doing I pressed the like button and then subscribed. Nothing should be forgotten, thank you

[@prwolf71]

I love that you do this work. so many get forgotten graves and cemeteries in this world.

[@rdleahey]

I once came across a video made by an amazing expert showing how to restore writing on a gravestone. I think I still have it if anyone is interested.

[@northoutdoors2841]

Coming from a family with a funeral home, vault setting, etc, you should be putting a tarp down to put your dirt on because the mowers are not going to like the dirt on the grass and it looks bad.

[@doloreswhite6736]

You are so gentle when doing this I think it is just wonderful to watch a person like you doing the work for the deceased. Thank you and God bless you.
