Dedicated to honouring lasting memories

We provide peaceful, dignified grave‑care services across the North East. Our cleaning is always carried out by hand using safe, proven conservation techniques — never wire brushes, harsh chemicals, or pressure washers.

Frequently asked questions

We understand that entrusting someone with a family memorial is deeply personal. Here are answers to common questions about our methods and services.

Will your cleaning process damage the stone or lettering?

No, our cleaning is gentle and non‑abrasive. We clean every memorial by hand using soft brushes and approved solutions that are safe for all stone types. We never use harsh chemicals or pressure washers, so the stone and lettering are fully protected throughout the process.

What areas do you cover?

We serve all of the North East, covering every major town and surrounding area. If you’re unsure whether your cemetery is included, just send us the location and we’ll confirm right away.

Do I need to be present during the clean?

No, you don’t need to be there. Once we have a photo of the memorial and the cemetery location, we can carry out the clean safely and respectfully. We send before and after photos so you can see the results without needing to visit.

Do you offer special occasion visits?

Yes, we provide one‑off Special Occasion Visits for birthdays, anniversaries, and meaningful dates. Each visit includes a tidy around the plot and placing special flowers chosen by the family, along with a photo update.

How long does a cleaning session take?

Most cleaning visits take 30–90 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the memorial. We work carefully by hand, so times can vary slightly, but we always aim to complete the clean with minimal disruption and provide photo updates once finished.

Do you offer regular annual maintenance?

Yes, we offer Seasonal Care, Annual Care, and a Monthly Flower Plan. Each option provides gentle upkeep, a tidy around the plot, and photo updates so families can see the memorial is being looked after.

How can I request a quote or book an appointment?

You can request a quote or book a visit by sending us a photo of the memorial and the cemetery name. Just use our contact form or email us directly. We’ll assess the stone and reply within 24 hours with a no‑obligation quote and the next available date.

Can you place flowers regularly?

Yes, our Monthly Flower Plan includes a regular visit to place fresh flowers and lightly tidy the memorial. Families receive a photo update each time so they can see the memorial is being cared for.
