Deep Cleaning across Illinois, coordinated from first call to final photo

Routine dirt, mold and biological growth are removed with safe, cemetery-approved deep cleaning for granite and bronze — no harsh pressure washing that could damage the stone. Deep cleaning restores a bright, cared-for appearance; structural resetting and heavy refinishing are handled by our repair and restoration services. Every clean comes with before-and-after photos.

In Illinois, deep cleaning is supported by our 1 showroom and warehouse location in Plainfield. These are listed locations, not a promise of shorter lead times or lower charges. Confirm access, crew availability and the full scope for your cemetery before booking.

We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Illinois is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Illinois cemetery facts

VA cleaning rules for government markers in Illinois

VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 8 cemeteries in Illinois: 5 open for new burials, 1 open for cremated remains only and 2 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 1 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemetery in Illinois.

The goal of cleaning is to remove air pollution soiling, lichen, bird droppings, dirt, salts and sap. It is not to make the headstone or marker look “like new.”

VA prohibits the general public from power washing government-furnished headstones and markers because of the damage it may cause to historical headstones.

Featured Illinois cemetery

Cleaning visits should respect each cemetery’s monuments, decorations and schedule. Here is what VA publishes for Confederate Mound.

Confederate Mound

Monuments and memorials

The memorial consists of a bronze figure of a Confederate infantry soldier, arms folded across his chest, hat in hand, and kit hanging at his side, standing atop a square granite column.
The figure is adapted from a painting entitled "Appomattox" by John A. Elder.

History

Reacting to criticism that rural cemeteries were "cluttered and crowded", cemetery designer Adolph Strauch introduced more formality to the layout of Oak Woods, while reducing the size of trees and shrubs, replacing the atmosphere of a natural garden with that of a park.
In time Strauch became one of the most influential cemetery designers of his day, in part due to his work at Oak Woods.

Quoted from the official page for Confederate Mound (cem.va.gov), checked October 23, 2026. Rules, hours and burial status can change, so confirm with the cemetery before scheduling work.

What families say

Trusted by families and funeral homes across the country

“They handled everything with our mother’s monument — delivery, cemetery coordination, installation and photos afterward. We live in another state, so knowing it was set correctly and respectfully meant the world to us.”

Linda M.

Family, out-of-state

“The deep cleaning and leveling completely transformed the family plot. The before-and-after photos were incredible, and now the stone looks like it did when it was first installed. We’re very grateful for the care they showed.”

Emily R.

Family

“We added dates and a portrait to an existing monument through their engraving team. Everything matched perfectly and was done right at the cemetery. Communication was clear from start to finish.”
