Our standard grave cleaning service is suitable for newer grave sites that only require some routine
maintenance. All maintenance work is completed in a single visit and includes:
• Gently cleaning gravestones and inscriptions to remove dirt, grim, moss, droppings etc.
• Cleaning vases, plant pots, mementos around the grave
• Clearing litter and debris around the grave
On top of cleaning the gravestone, our gardeners will complete the following maintenance around
the grave site:
• Weeding and removing dead flowers and leaves
• Pruning plants and shrubs
• Cutting, edging, and tidying grass
• Sowing grass seeds on patchy spots
• Small bunch of fresh seasonal flowers or artificial roses
• Personal message on a laminated card
Our deep clean comes with the following services as the standard clean but our deep clean is recommended for graves and memorials that have not received
attention for some time.
We carefully complete a one-off deep clean of the entire headstone and surrounding areas. Using
specialist grave cleaning equipment, our process involves gently removing stains and natural growth
to restore the natural headstone material. Whilst every effort will be made to rejuvenate, please bear in mind that some staining and decay is impossible to eradicate.
Pet graves are an increasingly popular option here in the UK. These memorials give the chance to
honour and commemorate our beloved pets that are no longer with us. We complete the same level
of care and consideration when cleaning and restoring pet graves.
It’s often difficult to visit a grave to place flowers on special occasions or anniversaries.
Our in-house florist can create bespoke floral arrangements and have them placed at the grave site
throughout the year. We can also replace vases and pots around the grave,
Our gardeners can also plant seasonal flowers and sow bulbs around the grave site, providing a
beautiful touch of colour.
Let us know about your loved one’s favourite plants or flowers and we can arrange for their inclusion
at the memorial.
Our range of decorative aggregates include coloured glass, stone - slate chippings. This is the perfect way to enhance your loved one resting place, we would recommend using our eco-friendly weed control membrane for lawn memorials also some kerbed memorials because the central area of the kerb set memorial can be filled with either plants, chippings or a matching stone slab to cover the top.
To ensure you’re satisfied with the cleaning work, we also provide before and after photographs of
the grave site. These are sent via email or text message, with high resolution digital photos included
with clean.
