Sts. Cyril and Method Cemetery

Your donations are being spent wisely. Among improvements to roads and hazardous tree removals, we are also allocating funds to repair historic gravestones that have been broken for decades. This stone was in a deplorable state of disrepair. It is beautiful now!

This spring, Albany Diocesan Cemeteries proudly marks 17 years of providing in-house monument cleaning and restoration services.

Our program—developed by our full-time historian and preservationist—was created to help families care for their loved ones’ monuments in a safe, respectful, and affordable way. Over time, lichen, mold, and environmental pollutants can build up, making inscriptions difficult to read and diminishing the natural beauty of the stone. Our expert restoration services gently bring these memorials back to life.

We offer free, no-obligation quotes to help you choose the right level of care for your family’s monument.

💚 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫: For every restoration service completed in May, we will “pay it forward” by cleaning a 19th-century gravestone in honor of your family.

I found these interesting wooden blocks that have a thin metal plate with images of our old receiving vault and notable burial sites located in St. Agnes Cemetery. I’m guessing they are really old camera negatives. Can anyone confirm what they are? They are so cool!
