Ongoing Care for Lasting Tributes

Honouring Memories with Continued Care

Over time, even the finest memorials are subject to the effects of weather, biological growth, and natural wear. Gentle upkeep can make a world of difference in maintaining the integrity and appearance of a headstone or grave.

Whether you are looking to restore a faded inscription, clean a moss-covered headstone, or repair weather damage, our experienced team is here to help. We handle each memorial with respect and precision, ensuring every tribute remains a fitting reflection of the person it commemorates.

Our Memorial Aftercare Services

Grave Cleaning

Our grave cleaning service removes accumulated dirt, moss, lichen, algae, and environmental staining using gentle, non-abrasive methods. These techniques are safe for both the memorial stone and the surrounding area.

Whether it’s part of ongoing maintenance or a one-off deep clean, we help restore clarity and brightness to the stone, all while preserving its original finish and ensuring the dignity of your loved one’s resting place.

Headstone Restoration

If a memorial becomes damaged, unstable, or weather-worn, our restoration service can return it to its original condition.

This may involve re-levelling or resetting the stone, repairing chips or cracks, repointing joints, and restoring dulled or aged finishes.

Each restoration is completed with great care, always respecting the original design and craftsmanship of the memorial.

Inscriptions & Re-lettering

Inscriptions can fade, flake, or become weather-worn over time. We offer expert re-lettering services to re-cut, re-paint, or re-gild text, carefully matching the original font and layout.

Whether you’re updating a name, adding a new inscription, or reviving existing lettering, our work is handled with accuracy and sensitivity to preserve the memorial’s appearance and meaning.

Memorial Repairs

Memorials may suffer damage due to weather, ground movement, or age.

We provide a full repair service that can include fixing broken elements, reattaching loose components, replacing missing sections, or realigning kerb sets.

Every repair is carried out sympathetically to preserve the memorial’s original integrity and ensure long-lasting stability.
