With 28 years of combined experience, Mark and I ensure these meaningful testaments remain intact for future generations. About Us 🔹
At Not Forgotten Preservation, we understand that every gravestone, monument, and memorial hold a unique story—a testament to lives lived, memories cherished, and love that endures beyond time. With a combined experience of 28 years, our founders, Mark and Karaline
VanDiepenbos, have dedicated themselves to safeguarding these precious legacies. For the past fourteen years, we have been working diligently on headstone preservation in our township's five cemeteries, honing our expertise in headstone cleaning and repair. Our Journey 🔹 Mark VanDiepenbos, a master stone carver since 2004, brings his passion for natural stone to every restoration project. His discerning eye and meticulous craftsmanship ensure that each headstone stands the test of time. Mark’s commitment extends beyond the physical—it’s about preserving the essence of those who rest beneath these hallowed grounds. Karaline VanDiepenbos, alongside Mark for the past 14 years, specializes in gentle headstone cleaning. With reverence and care, she removes dirt, lichens, and weathered deposits, revealing the inscriptions that connect us to the past. Karaline’s dedication echoes through the ages, ensuring that memories remain vivid, and hearts find solace. At Not Forgotten Preservation, we use safe and effective biological, non-abrasive cleaning techniques to gently remove dirt, moss, lichens, and weathered deposits from headstones, preserving the integrity and beauty of each monument.
