A grassroots initiative is taking shape across Connecticut as volunteers dedicate their time to revitalizing forgotten burial sites that have been left to deteriorate over time.
These dedicated individuals, who call themselves ‘cemetery citizens,’ are focusing their efforts on providing care and attention to abandoned graveyards that have suffered from years of neglect.
The volunteer-driven effort aims to restore these overlooked burial grounds, many of which serve marginalized communities whose final resting places have been forgotten by time and circumstance.
Through their restoration work, these volunteers are breathing new life into spaces that hold significant historical and cultural value for their communities.
