[MassHistPres] Gravestone Conservator

Fri Apr 17 09:56:22 EDT 2015

Hello, 

I received the following list from either MHC or one of our consultants last
year when Quincy was restoring the stones in its historic Hancock Cemetery.
We ended up working with Historic Gravestone Services, who was excellent.
I'm happy to provide more info if you need it.

Hello all,
For the past few years the Westborough Historical Commission has had a small
budget item to do gravestone repair work in the three town-owned cemeteries.
Our current stone conservator is unable to continue with the project, and we
are looking for suggestions for a new person or firm. This is a very small
project, but is continued from year to year. Any recommendations for new
stone conservators or firms that do smaller projects? Thanks in advance,
Jenn Doherty Westborough Historical Commission

currently have contracts with both Fannin-Lehner of Concord, Mass.
