Saving
Graves is
strongly committed to the preservation and protection of human burial
sites from unauthorized and unwarranted disturbance, by man or nature.
Saving Graves was formed to educate and assist in the worldwide
networking of people interested in protecting, restoring and preserving
our historic cemeteries. We believe that the willful desecration or
destruction of human burial sites is unacceptable
in a
civilized society. All over the globe, cemeteries have been
threatened by neglect, insufficient funds, inappropriate development or
insensitive public policy. These cemeteries constitute a memento of
great achievements of the common everyday people that lived and worked
there, contributing greatly to both culture and science, leading to the
creation of a better place for those that followed. It is our
primary
objective to increase the
awareness and highlight the importance of our historic cemeteries as
sources of community and state pride, while promoting an attitude of
reverence and respect, and encouraging the further preservation of
these unique historical resources for future generations to appreciate
and learn from. If society fails to appropriately and adequately deal
with this issue through some definitive action, whether legislative or
otherwise, not only will genealogical and historical resources likely
be irreparably harmed, but society will potentially lose a valuable
resource for charting its inexorable course into annals of human
history.
