The restoration of deteriorated gravestones in the Bay View Cemetery will begin with a condition assessment report of all gravestones in the cemetery, including photographs of gravestones, monuments, and footstones, transcriptions of engraving on the stones, and detailed description of materials and techniques to repair the gravestones back to a “whole” state. The condition assessment report of all the gravestones was completed in 2021 and a contractor has been hired to perform the gravestone restoration work which will begin in spring 2022.
