Our speaker will be Rusty Brenner from Texas Cemetery Restorations.

James “Rusty” Brenner started in the monument preservation business while working with my father at his monument company in Crockett, Texas as a teenager. Where he fell in love with visiting old cemeteries, photographing old tombstones, and learning about the history of the people who settled this land and made it home. When he was nineteen years old he decided that someone needed to preserve the beautiful monuments that memorialized our ancestors. And so Texas Cemetery Restoration was born.

The mission of Texas Cemetery Restoration LLC is to provide exceptional conservation, preservation and restoration services to individuals and cemetery associations for their cemetery and monument restoration projects and to help them plan and preserve cultural resources through our GPS mapping, database, and ground penetrating radar services.

His Presentation will cover the following topics:

• Cleaning, leveling, and repair of tombstone
• GPS Mapping and Burial Databases for Cemeteries
• Ground Penetrating Radar to locate unmarked graves
