Over
the last thirty years John Heider has performed many aspects of historical
restoration that provided him with a solid understanding and deep appreciation
for our cemeteries.
He can provide a complete cemetery preservation plan, individual gravestone assessment, or perform simple and complex repairs.
His workshops present the necessary information for an individual person or group of people to clean, reset, or repair stone grave markers and his training methods follow federal, state, and professional guidelines. John is available for lectures, seminars, conferences, or on-site training. Sharing this knowledge with people is one of his most enjoyable endeavors.
