I have been following the conversation on abandoned cemeteries., Changing the law might help, but most states do not have any funds available for this project. What needs to be done if you really care is where ever you live gather your tools and some friends and get out there and make a difference, it is a very rewarding feeling when you can stand there and see the stones and know that someone somewhere is greatful.

Here's an idea. My nephew's Boy Scout troop often suggests that Scouts searching for Eagle projects take on the task of restoring old cemeteries. I reminded Jamie that his GGgrandfather's cemetery in Roanoke has been unattended to for decades. I think he may take the hint. <G> Mary wrote: > I have been following the conversation on abandoned cemeteries., Changing the law might help, but most states do not have any funds available for this project.
