Guidelines for Preservation & Restoration

The St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 Guidelines for Preservation & Restoration have been developed for tomb owners, cemetery caretakers, non-profit organization volunteers and professional craftspeople, conservators, and preservation consultants who are interested in the recommended repair, maintenance and restoration of above ground tombs in this and other local cemeteries. It is hoped that these guidelines will promote new enthusiasm for the responsible care and maintenance of the many tombs in need at St. Louis Cemetery No. 1, and for other historic above ground cemeteries in the region.
