Plot Worker
We are always looking for Volunteers and you only work when you have free time, these are fun times. So give us a call or stop out. It's a grave responsibility. /;-)

      WHAT WE DO:


We aim to help families service Plots and Headstones of loved ones...  it's a grave responsibility
Have you recently visited a grave of a loved one and discover the headstone was in the rough?  Biological growth, like algae, fungi and lichen, can cause deterioration of cemetery headstones by trapping moisture and secreting acids.  Plant life such as ferns, ivy, moss and trees surrounding headstones can be damaging.  Staining from rain and plant life also makes for poor looking headstone.  Also winter frost and roots that penetrate the foundation may cause leaning, heaving and cracking.

 Do Not Clean Your Headstone, without the appropriate equipment and cleaner.  Often household cleaners will not work, they do more damage !  NEVER BLEACH !!
​ If not carefully researched, an attempt to clean a gravestone will result in more damage.   Also you will need permission of the cemetery to do any work.  But if you would like to do your own cleaning, we understand and will show you the best way. We work with cemeteries to maintain their objective designing and cemetery schematics.

If your families headstone is leaning or fallen over, we will do all the heavy work and reset your family gravestone with a appropriate footing and foundation.
JUST HOW DO WE DO IT ANYWAY:    We work with mostly donated equipment (Thank You John Kovacs) that we adapt to our work. This helps keep things safe while giving an advantage to a couple old retired farts. Working with headstones, safety is paramount and is always front and center of our work. When we get the call for help, we like to first visit the cemetery location to determine the best action needed to get the best results. We calculate cost and keep you up to date, you have the freedom to help or watch if you like. If you agree we then visit the cemetery director to get permission and understand their rules. Then we put you on the schedule. When the job is finished we let the cemetery director know and inspect it, if OK, we contact you with the invoice. Labor is free by volunteers who would just like to make a difference but are compensated for expenses.  We do need to charge for materials needed, like aggregate, cement, sand, soil, lawn seed and any travel fees and tax. We support your local business for materials and any, if needed, equipment.

​ Volunteers Appreciated. If you love the outdoors, we would love to have your help bringing dignity and pride lost in our cemeteries. Start with your neighboring cemetery, become a much needed volunteer. We train you, just ask. We need your assistance in all trades like office, marking, equipment repair and digging with your hands in the dirt. Young and old, a helpful, fun and different way to spend some leisure time that does make a big difference.  Thank You to all those Volunteers who serve, it is most approached.
