Lexington Municipal Cemetery Veterans Sinking Headstone Project

I’m sure you’ve heard of the saying “raising the roof” well here at the Lexington Municipal Cemetery we are “raising veterans sinking headstones”. Unfortunately, the effects of time and nature have resulted in many of the old military headstones, lacking a good footing (cement base) to sink into the ground. The Veterans Sinking Headstone Project got a generous donation of $1,200.00 to kickstart our program from several of our local veterans. This generous donation will fund the raising of six military veterans’ headstones. 

If you would like to contribute to this project you can simply drop off (or mail) a check to the Lexington Village Office or mail to Sue Haron, PO Box 609 Lexington MI 48450. Checks should be made out to The Village of Lexington. Please note “Military” on your contribution. There will be a donation jar at the Lexington Municipal Cemetery in the Chapel on Memorial Day – Monday, May 27th during the Memorial Day service which follows the annual parade.

Look for updates on our Facebook page as we will have before and after photos as we “raise veterans sinking headstones”.

For additional information and/or questions please contact Sue Haron at 248-877-3981.
