Memorial Restoration Services Q&A in Lyman

Do you clean the back of the headstone, or just the front?

A complete cleaning means 360 degrees. Our Lyman teams treat every exposed surface of the granite, including the foundation pad.

The flat marker sank completely out of sight into the mud.

Heavy granite sinks fast in wet Lyman soil. We locate the stone, break the mud suction, and elevate the marker on a crushed rock pad so it stops sinking.

There is a hard black crust all over the monument. Is it just dirt?

No, that is likely a gypsum crust formed by historic mill soot or modern biomass heating exhaust. We use a chemical poultice to safely digest the greasy soot without scrubbing.
