Visiting the odd cemetery from time to time I was surprised how many memorials were lost, fallen over or ‘recycled’. Many had inscriptions that were fading or the underlying stone is being eaten away and becoming unreadable. BG manages to capture these memorials before they suffer oblivion and can let you see them (usually) in a better condition than you would today. Check whether you can help and cover your local Cemy before it is too late - it’s great exercise and you’ll help many people trace their ancestors!
