  1. Wish I could do this as well but my health doesn't lend itself to it. I WOULD like to clean my family's headstones but the cemetery is out in the country and I don't drive. Maybe one day….

  2. Something that blew my mind, as I got in trouble for cleaning my grandfathers grave stone at national cemetery here in Chattanooga. Him and my grandmother are buried side-by-side, and it’s a beautiful cemetery but his gravestone particular started darkening and taking on a very aged look in the lettering couldn’t be read whatsoever. So I cleaned it properly and started redoing the lettering… Which I am actually qualified to do probably more than their maintenance folks… Folks… and they weren’t happy about it. They looked new when I was done and they will stay that way long after I’m dead… But they were pissed.

  3. Whatever stigma you may have of "filming graves for media" or anything around that crap – this person is doing a great job, not hurting anyone and helping everyone, if they can profit from it on side – there's no issue.

  4. Some of the graves (that you can still sorta read) in my local graveyard date back to the 1400’s/1500’s. But the church has been around much longer so I’m sure there are much older ones among those that are unreadable

  5. In Asia ancestors worship is pretty common, we clean the graves of our ancestors once a year in a particular month. We tell each other stories of their journeys across the oceans and struggles to raise a family in the new world. Looking into the past can give meaning to our present and future.

    It's not her direct ancestors she's cleaning but my opinion it's sort of is ancestor worship as well.. also cleaning the graves / taking care / respecting the dead when they have no family to take care of them can bring good luck..
