One Stone at a Time – Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery

Friends of Lone Fir Cemetery and Metro have been partners in this important restoration project since 2012. The two groups have pooled their financial resources to hire a professional stonework conservator company to create a multi-year headstone restoration plan and to phase in restoration of potentially dangerous stones.

The community can be iinvolved in a variety of ways:

SURVEY. You can be trained to assist our Site Committee survey the cemetery to identify future work-sites.
REPAIR. You can participate in workshops where we can complete light repair projects so the professionals can focus on larger, more involved repairs.
DONATE. You can donate funds so that we can continue our work.
