HSM will Clean Headstones During May

MIDDLETOWN — The Historical Society of the Town of Middletown (HSM) will offer a headstone cleaning service at Middletown area cemeteries during the month of May.

In the weeks leading up to Memorial Day, HSM’s trained volunteers will use D-2, a non-toxic cleaning agent, to remove algae, lichen and age-related grime from monuments and headstones in this annual fundraiser.

This service is provided at a cost of $30 for a single stone, $50 for two stones or a two-sided stone. To take advantage of this offer, send a check and contact information, along with name(s) on the headstone(s) and the cemetery, to HSM, PO Box 734, Margaretville, NY 12455. Or place your order and make payment at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/headstone-cleaning
