The second is to offer suggestions to family members, cemetery caretakers and volunteers on how to address this problem. The OCHC has released several position papers and Heritage Bulletins for the care and preservation of Oregon’s historic cemeteries. The commission also offers annual marker repair trainings and grants for training and repair.
