Grave Cleaning & Headstone Restoration in Temple

Included in Subscription F.A.Q. Examples Tending Pricing

Memorial preservation in Temple, Texas, requires specialized care due to the Central Texas climate, which sees intense heat combined with heavy seasonal rains that impact monument stability. The region's expansive clay soils are prone to cycles of swelling and shrinking, creating ground instability that causes headstones to tilt, sink, or become structurally compromised over time. This environment also encourages stubborn mold and lichen growth, which quickly obscures names and dates on the stone surface. Tending provides the professional, proactive care needed in the Temple area, focusing on both non-damaging deep cleaning and essential structural integrity monitoring. Our subscription service ensures your family’s tribute remains secure, level, and dignified year-round.

Temple is served by several major memorial parks in the Central Texas region. The Tending service area covers all of the city’s major memorial parks and cemeteries.

Why Grave Care Matters Can I clean the monument myself?
You can, but be careful. Many household cleaners damage stone. We use pH-balanced, professional products that are safe for marble, granite, and bronze.
You can gently clean a headstone using a soft cloth or sponge and mild dish soap mixed with water. Avoid using harsh household cleaners, bleach, vinegar, or power washing, as these can permanently damage the stone’s surface or lettering.
For best results and long-term preservation, we recommend leaving cleaning to our professionally trained team, who use stone-safe solutions and techniques tailored to each material type.
