Outdoor monuments and markers are subjected to the elements, depositing dirt, pollen, bird droppings, and debris on and around the stones. While a good rain helps, it doesn't compare to a thorough cleaning. Over time, it is also common to see organic buildup occur. Typically, it's patches of a plant organism called lichen, which can render a stone unreadable and even impact the integrity of the stone. Let us protect it and honor your loved ones with professional gravesite cleaning.
We carefully and thoroughly clean the stone(s) at the grave of your loved one(s). This service is a deep clean and includes the safe removal of organic material such as lichens. Water and D/2 biologic solution are used, along with soft items such as cloths, nylon tools, and brushes. No metal or abrasives are ever used on the stone. We apply D/2 when we leave, then we return to continue cleaning, repeating the process for best results. The base is swept, cleaned, & debris is removed at gravesite.
We will carefully and thoroughly clean the marker at the grave of your loved one(s). This service is a deep clean for a flat, non-stone marker. It includes the use of water and safe solutions, along with soft items such as cloths, nylon tools, and brushes. No metal or abrasives are ever used to clean the actual marker. Any grass or dirt overtaking the edges of the marker will be removed, and debris will be cleared from the gravesite (ie: bits of plastic decoration, broken items, sticks, etc.)
Want to keep the gravesite neat and tidy throughout the warmer months? This service runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day and includes regular visits to the gravesite to do basic cleanup: Spot-cleaning and/or wipe-down of headstone, sweeping base free of grass clippings/leaves/dirt, hand-trimming any long grass near the stone, removing any broken items or debris from the site, and readjusting any existing decorations and/or flowers that have tipped or been disrupted. Goodbye to bird droppings!
