Veteran Monument Cleaning, Floral Placement, at Discount

Gravestones are monuments to the lives of loved ones. Over time, these stones can accumulate dirt, grime, and lichen, obscuring inscriptions and diminishing their appearance.

Cleaning a gravestone is a respectful act that can restore its beauty and ensure its longevity. However, it’s essential to do it correctly to avoid damaging the stone. 

Understanding Your Gravestone

Before we start cleaning, always identify the type of stone your gravestone is made from. Different stones require different cleaning methods. Common types of headstone materials include:

          • Granite: Durable and resistant to weathering.
          • Marble: Porous and susceptible to stains.
          • Sandstone: Soft and easily damaged.
          • Limestone: Similar to marble, but often more durable.

          Knowing the type of stone will help us choose the appropriate cleaning products and methods. 

          Why Cleaning a Gravestone Needed?

          Here are a few reasons why it's important:

            • Preservation: Cleaning can help prevent further deterioration of the stone due to weathering, pollution, and biological growth.
            • Respect: It demonstrates respect for the deceased and their family by maintaining the marker in a clean and dignified condition.
            • Improved Appearance: A clean gravestone is more visually appealing and easier to read, making it a more meaningful place for visitors to reflect.
            • Historical Significance: For older gravestones, cleaning can help preserve important historical information and records.
