Real Stories of Memorial Restoration & Care

Aug 27, 2026

I stumbled upon an advertisement for…

I stumbled upon an advertisement for Tending Memorial Restoration while scrolling through Instagram. Though I was initially skeptical, my first phone call convinced me I had found the perfect company. I wanted to surprise my wife with a restored gravestone for her mother, who is buried in central North Carolina, while we live in South Florida—doing it ourselves wasn’t an option. I arranged a plan with Tending Memorial and soon, three weeks later, received an email with their detailed report and stunning before-and-after photos. I was truly impressed by the spectacular transformation—they restored her gravestone to better-than-new condition. Watching my wife's joy when seeing the beautifully restored gravestone was priceless. I wholeheartedly recommend Tending Memorial for their promptness, friendliness, and exceptional craftsmanship. Working with them was a real pleasure.

I was absolutely amazed at what they were able to achieve with the headstones. Aged stones that I had tried to clean personally and got nowhere with looked fantastic. The detail that went with the stones being cleaned was thorough. I ended up having a total of eight stones done because I was so happy with the work. I cannot recommend highly enough!

tombstones cleaned

I needed three tombstones cleaned and restored, so I did some research and found Nationwide Grave Care & Headstone Cleaning. I emailed them to ask about their services and costs, and they quickly replied and even called to discuss the details. Two of the stones were 19 years old, and the third was at least 30 years old, all in need of cleaning and restoration. After reviewing the different options, I chose the one that best fit my budget and timeline. I was very impressed with their workmanship and how quickly the job was done. The stones looked like new, with all the stains and grime gone, and they even sent me before and after photos. I felt it was a great value for the work done and wouldn’t hesitate to use their service again.

Types of Headstones We Clean & Restore:

Flush Marker (Granite or Bronze) A grave marker set level with the ground, made of granite or bronze, that doesn't rise above the surrounding grass.
Bevel/Hickey Marker Also called a hickey marker, this flat-based marker has a slightly raised, angled top edge for easier reading.
Slant Monument A marker with its inscribed face angled upward from a flat base, set at a slant rather than fully upright.
Upright Monument A traditional vertical headstone standing upright on a base, the most common style for older cemetery sections.
Ledger Marker A larger, often custom-designed memorial covering multiple burial plots for a family or group.
Custom or Multi-Plot Memorials Tailored maintenance for statues, obelisks, and family plots. We use specialized soft-bristle techniques to protect intricate carvings and delicate stone features.
