Reliable Grave Care & Headstone Cleaning Subscription Services

Stop Worrying. Start Preserving.

Listen, we know the truth: you can't be at the cemetery every week. No one can. But the elements? The sun, the mold, the city dirt? They never take a break. Across the USA, these memorials—your family's sacred history—face a relentless, non-stop assault from weather and time.

This isn't just about dust; this is about corrosion, erosion, and losing the names forever. If you leave a granite marker in the Florida humidity, it gets covered in slime. If you leave marble in the New York cold, it cracks. You need a plan that works when you can’t be there.

The Problem is Time. The Solution is Tending.

Trying to handle this yourself is usually a trap. You buy some cleaner, maybe you rent a pressure washer—and you risk permanent damage to the stone's finish or its delicate lettering. You absolutely need specialized, expert care.

That’s exactly why Tending exists. We turned the overwhelming chore of monument upkeep into an easy, reliable service. Our job is simple: to make sure your loved one’s final tribute is treated with the dignity and professional expertise it deserves, season after season, year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Trust & Quality Do you guarantee the work?
We are happy to address any issues that you see in the photo report that is sent to you after each job, or if you visit the gravesite personally, free of charge. The ongoing warranty is valid while your subscription plan is active. After a one-time cleaning/restoration, the warranty period is 14 days.
Services & Plans Can you fix just the letters or cracks?
Yes. Our plans cover that.
Location & Access My cemetery isn’t on your list.
Enter its name manually. We’ll locate it, as long as the cemetery is within the United States. The more details you provide (county, full cemetery name, street address, city, state, plot/section/lot/row, or GPS coordinates), the faster and more accurate our search will be. If you have a link to the cemetery page, a map pin, or a photo of the monument, please include it when placing the order. We will add the county, full cemetery name, postal address, and a map pin to your order so your Care Manager can find the grave.
Why Grave Care Matters How often should a grave be cleaned?
Ideally, light cleaning should be done several times a year, with a deeper restoration every few years depending on the material and local climate. Our Ongoing Care plan is the perfect choice for this.
Payments & Subscriptions Can I cancel anytime?
You can cancel your subscription at any time before the next billing cycle. Services continue until the end of the paid period.
App & Support Is there a mobile app?
Special Requests Can you prepare the grave for a memorial date?
Yes, just tell your Care Manager the date in advance. We will try our best to make everything possible.
