I had a look at this stone today and, in my opinion, it is beyond repair. It's local sandstone, which is soft and it would be impossible to pin it all together safely, even if you could find someone to do it.
Granite can be repaired but sandstone is a completely different ball game!

You would, of course, have to apply for permission to do anything to this stone.

Thank you for this information, I’m in Australia myself but rest assured I’ll pass this information on to my members. As you say, the headstone being sandstone could be problematic, one of our experts may still be able to give it a clean. Once again, thank you for the information provided, the photos will come in handy to the members. 😀
