What about historic preservation measures?
1.
Is the site on the National Register of Historic Places, the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage, the Alabama Historic Cemetery Register and/or the Alabama Cemetery Preservation Alliance Register?
2.
Should it be listed?
3.
Do you allow gravestone rubbings?
4.
What are state and local laws concerning cemeteries, graveyards, and human remains?
5.
Do you have appropriate guidance on the removal of significant stones or artwork? (An AHC-issued permit is recommended for cemeteries 75 years of age and older to protect you from prosecution for willful damage.)
6.
What sort of funding do you have?
