We service nearly all cemeteries in the state of Colorado. Contact us to confirm your specific location.
Many of the cemeteries we work in are in prairie land or wooded areas. The main upkeep required is:
– Removing dead grass, pine needles and pinecones. – Cleaning bird droppings from the headstone. – Noticing when erosion is occurring around the headstone.
We will gently remove debris from the area, taking care to work from the side of the grave site to treat your loved ones with the dignity we would treat our own. We will only use water and a gentle cloth if needed to clean the headstone. We are not authorized to use any type of chemicals directly on the stone.
Occasionally we will notice damage to the headstone, such as breakage along the base from lawn equipment or leaning due to erosion. There have been a few reported incidents of vandalism in local cemeteries as well. If we notice any such issues, we will inform you and send pictures.
We can correct erosion by adding appropriate soil to build up the headstone to prevent or reduce leaning. Our goal is to obtain certification to be able to do a deeper clean, and to straighten and provide minor repair to headstones. Until then, we can refer you to someone in the area who can address such needs.
An example of a leaning gravestone needing upkeep.
There are deep depressions forming in the ground behind the stone, and the soil is sloping to the right of the headstone. This will eventually cause the headstone to sink.
