Delivering Peace of Mind in Burien
-
Eco-Friendly Stone Restoration We avoid harsh pressure washing. Instead, we use biodegradable cleaners and soft bristle brushes to remove years of dirt and mildew, protecting the original finish of the monument. -
Inscription Recovery We remove the moss and dirt filling the letters, then re-apply pigment where needed to ensure the memorial tells its story clearly. -
Comprehensive Site Care Our care extends to the ground around the stone. We clear away encroachment weeds and ensure the grass is neatly trimmed away from the base. -
Photo & Condition Reports After each visit, you receive a detailed photo and report so you can see the results — no matter where you are. -
Custom Care Planning Have a special anniversary coming up? Your manager can arrange specific visits or floral placements to align with important dates. -
$2M Liability Protection Your site is protected by a $2M insurance policy covering accidental damage during service.
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.
Grave Care Questions in Burien
How do you clean Douglas fir sap off a headstone?
You can't scrape pine pitch without risking the polish. We chemically dissolve the sap spots and wash the residue away, a common request in wooded Burien cemeteries.
Do you clean the back and sides of the monument, or just the front?
A complete cleaning means 360 degrees. Our Burien teams treat every exposed surface of the granite, including the foundation pad.
Does the stone need to be dry before you can clean it?
No, in fact we pre-wet the stone before applying any cleaners. The constant drizzle in Burien actually helps keep the stone saturated for the biocides.
How much does grave care cost in Burien?
Base rates for grave care in Burien start at $109.00. Monument dimensions and structural condition dictate the final quote entirely. View our complete, fixed-rate tiers on the pricing page, or configure your specific plot instantly via the Tending App.
