Standard Features of Your Gettysburg Maintenance Plan

Professional Monument Washing We use a soft-wash biological technique to lift deep-set grime, algae, and weathering without damaging the stone. Our process includes checking for stability and sealing minor fissures.
Detailed Paint Restoration Using professional-grade stone paint, we re-fill the lettering on the marker. This improves visibility and protects the engraving from erosion.
Cemetery Plot Maintenance We inspect and maintain the entire grave site, keeping it level, tidy, and safe. Small cracks or discoloration are fixed before they become problems.
Digital Service Logs Transparency is key. Every cleaning session comes with a full digital report and updated photos of the monument's condition.
Managed Service Coordination We handle the logistics. Your assigned manager deals with the cemetery administration and schedules the crews so you don't have to.
Fully Insured Operations We carry comprehensive liability coverage up to $2 million. The memorial is covered by our liability policy during the work.

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.

Tending Grave Care Services FAQ for Gettysburg

Can lichen on red Milbank granite be stopped in Gettysburg?

Yes, and polished faces resist it better. Rougher sides and backs are where lichen collects first, so the Gettysburg crew spends the most time there.

Can our oldest marker in Gettysburg be cleaned without harm?

Sometimes. Flaking or sugary stone is firmed up first and then washed gently; if a surface cannot take cleaning, the crew says so.

Will the orange streaks left by an old iron fence come out of a stone in Gettysburg?

Usually. Iron sits in the pores rather than the stone itself, which is why surface cleaners fail on it.

Base rates for grave care in Gettysburg start at $109.00. Monument dimensions and structural condition dictate the final quote entirely. View our complete, fixed-rate tiers on the pricing page, or configure your specific plot instantly via the Tending App.
