Grave Cleaning & Headstone Restoration in Corning

Memorial care in Corning, enduring the cold, snowy winters of the Southern Tier, requires dedicated defense against heavy snowfall, ice damage, and the constant freeze-thaw cycles. Water infiltration during freezing temperatures fractures stone surfaces from within, creating deep cracks and structural damage that quickly compromises the memorial's integrity. Heavy winter conditions and foundation shifting also lead to headstones tilting or sinking. Tending provides the essential, professional care required for the Corning area, specializing in anti-freeze-thaw treatments, structural monitoring, and restoring inscriptions against harsh winter erosion. Our subscription service ensures your family’s tribute remains pristine, level, and preserved against the demanding Southern Tier climate.

Corning is served by local cemeteries and regional memorial parks throughout the Chemung and Steuben County areas. The Tending service area covers all of the city’s major memorial parks and cemeteries.
