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.
Grave Care Questions in Amherst
Our Amherst monument on a steep hillside keeps leaning more each year. Can that actually be corrected permanently?
Yes — but it takes rebuilding the footing, not just resetting the stone upright again. Hillside plots near Amherst, common across this state's hilly cemetery terrain, keep creeping downhill year after year under a standard base.
Does a storm dropping branches across our Amherst family plot get cleared as part of a regular visit?
A Amherst plot that took a hit from a nor'easter or a summer squall moves up the schedule automatically, ahead of routine cleaning elsewhere.
Gritty gray dust settles on our Amherst headstone near an old granite quarry. Different from regular dirt?
It is — quarry dust near Amherst is fine, abrasive stone grit rather than organic soil, and scrubbing it dry would just grind it further into the polish.
