You might contact The Chicora Foundation. Their website is
http://www.chicora.org/ They might be able to help with a grant, etc.

I would also check their contents page http://www.chicora.org/toc.htm under
"Cemetery Preservation"

Some of the topics there include Lawn Maintenance
http://www.chicora.org/lawn_maintenance.htm
Cleaning, Disaster Planning, etc.
