How We Restore Headstones in Peru Cemeteries

  • Gentle Biological Cleaning Our method targets the root of biological growth like mold and moss. We clean the stone thoroughly and apply a protective treatment to keep it looking clean for longer.
  • Inscription Enhancement Faded names are carefully brought back to life. We use specialized lithichrome paint to make the dates and epitaphs legible again.
  • Plot Hygiene & Safety We remove old flowers, fallen branches, and leaves. We also inspect the area for uneven ground or potential hazards to keeping the site safe.
  • Detailed Status Checks Our reports highlight any changes in the stone's condition, so you are always informed about the health of the memorial.
  • Custom Care Planning Have a special anniversary coming up? Your manager can arrange specific visits or floral placements to align with important dates.
  • Professional Liability Safety We treat every grave with respect, backed by a $2,000,000 policy that protects against any accidental damage during restoration.

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.

Headstone Repair & Preservation FAQ in Peru

What's the best way to clear crusty lichen off a Peru tombstone?

You should never scrape dry lichen off Peru granite. We soak the organic growth with a specialized solvent until it simply sloughs off the stone.

Will your cleaning chemicals harm the grass or wildlife at the Peru cemetery?

The products we apply in Peru are biodegradable. They effectively kill mold on the stone but neutralize safely when they reach the soil.

How do you clean acidic bird droppings off Peru monuments?

We carefully break down the biological waste using safe detergents. This prevents the droppings from causing permanent damage to your Peru memorial.
