Amy Barry repairs historic headstones across Utah and teaches local people how to care for their cemeteries, KSL reported. She works with the Utah Historic Preservation Office, based in Salt Lake City, and the stones she tends are often a century old.
The work is one grave, then the next, plus the lessons she leaves with a town so the care does not depend on a single visit. The report is that practice, not a count of every marker in the state.
