General Inquiries on Cemetery Care in Pella

Do bird droppings on our Pella marble marker actually eat into the stone, or just sit on top?

Nothing urgent. Acid gets neutralized, then rinsed — no dry scraping a Pella marble marker, which is what actually risks a scratch.

Fine gray dust coats our Pella headstone near the grain elevators. Different from regular dirt?

Grain elevator dust settles differently than typical windblown dirt near Pella. We treat it with a degreaser first to break the organic bond before doing any polish work.

During a Pella cleaning, does the crew get to the back of the monument too?

The entire monument, back included. Farm dust and moisture settle on a Pella stone's rear face at basically the same rate as the front, whether or not anyone ever looks there.
