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.
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.
