A family man is being acknowledged for restoring Neglected Gravestones in his town. 37-year-old Ryan van Emmenis has been taking walks around his neighborhood in Winsford, Cheshire during the lockdown. He takes his kids and together they restore old weathered tombstones that have been neglected for years.
âYouâve got to be respectful of the fact that itâs someoneâs family member, itâs someoneâs memories. Youâve got to make sure youâre using the right products and youâre being careful and delicate with it,â Emmenis told the Press Association News Agency. âSome of these headstones Iâm cleaning are over 100 years oldâand algae, moss etc. can have a really negative impact on them so youâve got to be really careful.â
Ryan posted a few pictures of his work to social media and has been flooded with praise from neighbors, strangers, and the family members of the deceased peopleâs headstones.
