Grave Cleaning & Headstone Restoration in Galveston

Memorial care in Galveston, Texas, faces the most extreme environmental challenges in the state, driven by direct exposure to the Gulf of Mexico, relentless salt air, and high hurricane risk. The constant combination of high humidity and corrosive salt creates an ideal, destructive environment for aggressive mold, algae, and chemical erosion that quickly penetrates and degrades monument stone. Unchecked salt corrosion rapidly blurs cherished inscriptions and compromises the stone’s integrity. Tending provides the essential, professional defense required for the island, specializing in deep, anti-corrosion cleaning and proactive structural monitoring. Our subscription service ensures your family’s tribute remains pristine and preserved against the punishing, salt-driven coastal climate of Galveston.

Galveston is home to several historic cemeteries, many predating the 1900 Storm, requiring meticulous care. The Tending service area covers all of the city’s major memorial parks and cemeteries.
