Examples of Tending's Care

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.

Memorial Restoration Services Q&A in Portsmouth

Our Portsmouth churchyard has colonial table tombs with moss on the brick. How do you clean those?

With a biocide for the moss and a light rinse. Nothing forces water into the joints of a colonial tomb, and loose capstones are photographed and reported rather than moved.

I live out of state. Can you look after a family grave in Portsmouth?

Yes. Ordering, paying, and reviewing photos all happen online, while a nearby crew handles the grave in person.

Gray, slippery dust has packed into the letters on our Portsmouth stone. Could it be soapstone?

Possibly, and the cure is the same either way: soak the grooves and pick them out by hand, since a stiff tool chips the edges of letters.

Is a rented pressure washer a good way to clean our Portsmouth headstone?

No. On a headstone, a pressure jet strips the top layer of the stone and drives dirt and water into its pores and hairline cracks.

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