A Conversation With Epoch Preservation, Grave Conservator

SEASON 3 : BONUS 2
NOVEMBER 27, 2024

This is a special Thanksgiving bonus episode - just a little something to say thank you to all of you: my wonderful listeners. Whether you’ve been listening for awhile or just discovered the podcast, I want you to know I appreciate every single one of you Thank you so much for being here.

So here on this Thanksgiving eve, if you are cooking or cleaning or traveling - or maybe you’re just keeping to yourself and preserving your own peace - I wanted to release a little something to keep you company and show my gratitude for all of you.

I invited a guest on the podcast to talk about something I find super interesting, which is cemeteries and gravestone conservation. It’s just kind of a thing that comes up when you talk and think about historical true crime a lot.

We talked about what a grave conservator does, how to get in to the line of work, things you should and should not do as an aspiring grave conservator, views on cemeteries and mourning then and now, mourning traditions we think should come back, has she ever encountered anything spooky? And, bonus stones!

This is my conversation with Rachel from Epoch Preservation.
