Would you be interested in hosting a Cemetery Workshop?
Jan 27, 2014
Sally Donovan and Bruce Howard, consultants in Hood River, Oregon, would like to work with a community within a two-hour drive to put on a hands-on cemetery workshop. The fee would be $30-$35 per person (usually a minimum of 10 people- cap of 20 people) for the class. The time frame is usually from 9-4 pm. It would be a beginning workshop for people that want to learn some hands-on skills in cemetery preservation. Here is an example of an agenda: 9:00 AM Introduction-Participants/Instructors 9:15 AM Safety in Cemeteries/Working with Volunteers 9:45 AM Survey, photography, marker assessment, and material identification 11:00 AM How to Properly Clean Headstones/Demonstration and Hands-On 12:00 AM Lunch 12:45 PM Leveling Headstones 2:00 PM Resetting Headstones 2:45 PM Making a New Base 3:30-4:00 Wrap-Up/Q&A For more information, feel free to contact Sally Donovan at sally@donovanandassociates.net.
