Cleaning Memorials Yourself
For families who wish to care for their loved one’s memorial personally, gentle, regular cleaning can go a long way in preserving its appearance. Here are a few helpful tips:
Use Soft Tools – Always clean with a soft brush or non-abrasive cloth. Avoid wire brushes or anything that could scratch the stone.
Clean Water Only – For light surface cleaning, fresh water is often all that’s needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or household cleaners, which can damage the stone or lettering.
Check First – If the memorial shows signs of wear, flaking, or damage, it’s best to consult a professional before attempting to clean it.
Be Mindful – Different materials (such as granite, marble, or bronze) require different care. When in doubt, ask us—we’re happy to advise.
Cleaning a headstone can be a meaningful act of remembrance and taking the time to do it gently and respectfully helps protect the memorial for generations to come.
