Hello All:
I agree on the damage done by mowers, need dedicated people
there. Everyone wants to blame the cows, etc that were in
cemeteries years ago, but I have visitors tell me that there
was little damage 30-40 years ago before the mowing started.
I have seen mower damage the next season after we have
repaired a cemetery. We check them first thing every year
before we start and repair the new downed stones.

Ditto - I'm still in the dark as to the difference between
those in Section
68 and Section 69... One cemetery I am interested in has
more than 120 stones
out of 160 that are down or seriously leaning, and no one
seems to care... It
is unclear how much of the damage is the mowers, but they
have quit mowing
whole areas around the edges of the cemetery, with stones in
them, and the weeds
are waist high... A herd of goats would be preferable to
the damage the
mowers are doing, with little supervision.
