Headstone Cleaning and Restoration Guide in Mission

Does spring meltwater on glacial till make stones lean in Mission and elsewhere in eastern South Dakota?

Yes, and frost makes it worse. Standing water freezes and lifts one side, so stones lean a little more each year.

I left South Dakota years ago. Can you keep up Mom's grave near Mission?

Yes. Whether the Mission grave is in a town cemetery or a country churchyard, you never need to travel, because the crew arranges access.

Can you work at a country cemetery near Mission with a gravel road and no water?

Yes. A locked gate or a muddy road after rain is worth mentioning on the order, so the crew can plan the Mission trip around it.
