And to add to that, if concrete makes those graves stay there for another 30 years, that is better than the piles of destroyed stones once left up next to the fence, that end up hauled away to the local dump/ creek bed ect.. Every year, new techniques come out that are better than the year before. We know that concrete may not be the best way, but what happens a year from now if you find out some other techniques weren't the right way. This whole restoration process is a learning process, and it should already be known, that even the cemeterys that are restored, may need work again in the future. I have walked through several cemeteries in another county, where nothing is being done, and I am sick. By the time I am able to go up there and do what I can to repair them, they may not exist. What I am hearing, is that Madison Co. should have just left the Cottrell cemetery the way it was rather than use concrete. So if it's taken 6 years to repair it, and it takes longer to use the correct methods, they would be looking at several more years until they are finished. So in the several more years, that is that more cemeteries that are ignored. Amy
