[HistoricCemeteries] Grave markers

[Ernie Krewson]

Kuri,

We have bronze I think that is the type of grave marker but I do know that it isn't a natural stone but man made. What type of cleaners do I use?  Do they turn green over time and if so what do I use to bring their color back

Thanks,

Ernie
