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.

Tombstone Maintenance & Preservation FAQ in Franklin

Our Franklin monument near the Ohio River keeps sinking after flooding. Is that silt actually undermining the foundation?

It can — the Ohio's flood history near Franklin goes back generations, and each high-water event leaves silt that settles unevenly around a base, nudging a once-stable foundation a little further each time.

Does the Franklin cemetery need to sign off before any work happens?

That phone call happens on our end. If you're wondering whether a board can block an outside crew entirely, our page on that exact question covers it for a Franklin plot.

Given Kentucky's economy runs on limestone-filtered water, are the products used near Franklin safe for it?

The same aquifer that makes bourbon possible runs under a lot of Franklin, and nothing in our kit is the kind of harsh acid that would put that water at risk.
