The owner of this tomb stumbled onto the resting place of his ancestors during a tour of the cemetery, and then hired our team of conservators to restore the tomb. Restoration included rebuilding parts of the roof reusing the historic bricks, re-plastering the tomb with lime plaster, matching the historic limewash color (a rustic pink!), and carefully reinstalling the marble closure tablet. We also added a surround to the tablet (this will help protect it) using other historic tombs as a design precedent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7e0db062c34a4bf047d583/1617991817021-H9ITH5E0DENBDOOEFSTI/IMG_3276.JPG Durel Tomb The Durel Tomb prior to restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7e0db062c34a4bf047d583/1617992022803-BER1DOMKCH22W5ZZSPRB/Photo+Nov+05%2C+1+51+29+PM.jpg Durel Tomb https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7e0db062c34a4bf047d583/1617991854821-VE2GDK0LFG4EFN6Z563U/Photo+Dec+15%2C+11+53+22+AM.jpg Durel Tomb Halfway complete!
