Cemetery / Graveyard Plot or Lot Service – We repair, adjust or fix your family Plot or Lot. (Plot is one burial space, Lot is 5–6 consecutive burial spaces for families)
Cleaning – We will clean your headstone or marker. Biological growth may cause some unsightly deterioration/staining, while cleaning can also cause damage if the right process is not used. We remove loose debris or plant life, then wash off any biological growth such as algae, fungi and lichen with a tender gentle brushing, using biodegradable, phosphate free cleaner with clean water rinse to follow up with a finish coat of D/2 Solution to last a long time.
Clause: Because of the uneven surface, texture, ceramic or engraved pictures, custom artwork available on monuments and headstones; the bio cleaning, removing of stains, mold, fungus, mildew, lichens, and air pollutants from cemetery monuments/headstones, will require further removal by the biological nature over time.
Typically Black Mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) can take up to a year in nature to disappear from the surface.

Headstone Foundation and Substrate Construction - New foundations for Headstones or Markers require a strong substrate base to build a foundation on. The purpose of the substrate is to eliminate settling, slippage, and frost heaving often see in cemeteries. Monument dealers typically do not provide a necessary long term stable foundation when installing your Headstone or Monument. Cemetery rules determine the types of foundations used like, precast or wet-pore concrete, or best, granite, but do not specify any substrate specifications.
Substrate base is typically placed 4 – 6 inches below your static 4 inch foundation. In wet, sloping and frost line areas; we will need to go deeper where the ground will freeze in winter and required locality.
Headstone Leveling – Headstones and markers over the years can start to lean or topple over, caused by foundation shifts, broken foundations, or by surrounding landscape fluctuations. We will adequately level or replace any foundation and stabilize to prevent further problems.
Headstone Inscription Coloring - Clean and recolor inscriptions
Headstone Inspections – The best peace of mind is to know the status of family headstones and markers. By request, we provide an on site inspection with a full status report including preventive care that could be needed to ensure long life of your marker. Also a photo if you like.
Plaque and Marker Setting– We will replace or install on your cemetery plot a plaque or marker.
Pre-need Burial Locations – We can support you in choosing your family Plot locations, to ensure your making the right choice when making these decisions.
Training Class - Our training class's are held outside at a cemetery, weather permitting, so dress for dirt. In some cases, we will choose a cemetery near you, if other students agree.
