Episode 367: Allyson Visits Cemeteries, Cleans the Headstones and Researches Their Stories and Shares Them
Wednesday, 1 April, 2026
Why would someone spend their time cleaning graves of complete strangers? In this episode, Fr. Edward sits down with Allyson—better known as the “Crzy Cemetery Lady”—who has captured attention online for restoring forgotten headstones and uncovering the stories of the people buried beneath them. She shares how it all began, what draws her to cemeteries, and why these places are far more meaningful than most people realize. If you’ve ever wondered how to properly clean a gravestone (and what NOT to use), Allyson gives practical, respectful advice for beginners. But this conversation goes deeper… What’s the difference between a cemetery and a graveyard? What does it mean when people say cemeteries have their own “language”? How do families react when they discover a loved one’s grave has been cleaned? Fr. Edward also brings up a puzzling gravestone misspelling—leading to a fascinating discussion about memory, history, and how the dead are remembered. This episode might just change the way you see cemeteries—and inspire you to visit one with new eyes.
