Tennessee Historic Graveyard Preservation and Conservation
Preserving Tennessee's Historic Graveyards
Tennessee Historic Graveyard Preservation and Conservation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to cleaning and maintaining neglected cemeteries. We use D/2 biological solution, approved for government monuments, to gently clean headstones. Our team removes brush, overgrowth, weeds, and grass to restore the cemetery grounds. We also mark veteran graves with small flags to honor their service.
