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. 

Historic Burying Ground Consultants (Updated  9/13)

The following consultants have either worked successfully on MPPF
projects or have been suggested by preservation architects. The

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
