I see you added a darkening ink to highlight the name. Very nice. Wow! And you straightened the stone as well as clearing away the overgrown marigolds. I added the photo plaques.

“My Angela's headstone had not been cleaned in fifty years. I moved to Florida many years ago and I do visit San Diego, but never was able to get her headstone cleaned. My Angela is in the children's mausoleum chapel. I miss her every day. She was 5 years old when she passed. Well, im telling you after you guys cleaned up her headstone I didn't even remember what it had originally looked like. What a fabulous job! Everyone should use your company. It is truly beautiful. I can't wait for the rest of my family to see it. Thank you so much. Margaret ”

Headstone Cleaning and Restoration Guide in Portsmouth

Our tall Portsmouth monument tilted after a harsh freeze. Can you reset it?
Winter freezing and thawing in the Portsmouth clay causes severe frost heave. Expanding ice pushes the heavy concrete base upward unevenly. We completely dismantle the monument, dig out the compromised mud, and pack a deep crushed rock foundation.
Can you prevent weed trimmers from scratching our Portsmouth monument base?
Nylon trimmer line severely damages soft marble bases in Portsmouth. We meticulously edge the perimeter of the plot, creating a clean dirt trench that keeps aggressive cemetery maintenance crews safely away.
We live out of state. How can we arrange remote grave care for our Portsmouth plot?
You can easily schedule professional remote grave care through our secure Portsmouth dashboard. Our local crews maintain the family plot with absolute precision, giving you peace of mind without requiring you to travel to Virginia.
Our flat bronze-on-granite marker disappeared under the Portsmouth mud. Can you raise it?
Sinking flush markers are a chronic issue in Portsmouth. We completely excavate the submerged gravestone, install a deep drainage bed, and lift the stone so it remains perfectly level with the turf and safe from landscaper mower blades.

Honor them from afar. Book a one-time deep clean or ongoing care for any Portsmouth cemetery.
