Colonial Stone

A great repair done by Christopher Taylor in Centre Cemetery in Marshfield, MA

Though monument sales is part of the business, another great part of our business is restoration work. We pride ourselves on giving the best possible product to restore stones to a period correct state.

This obelisk was restored in Vine Hills cemetery in Plymouth, MA. The top piece of this obelisk had fallen over and broke in half and over the course of time and exposure to nature, collected lots of mold and biological growth.

Our restoration team got right to work and cleaned the stone and reset its base to level with stone dust. Next, each tier was built from bottom and secured in place using carbon fiber pins and industrial grade epoxy. The top piece of the obelisk was also repaired using carbon fiber pins and epoxy. Once repair we used HRM mortar to fill and larger voids left behind. For a final touch, a cosmetic white travfill mortar was placed over the cracks and lightly sanded down.

Now this obelisk is standing tall and proud as it once was when it was first erected!
