Monument Repair in Missouri
Resetting leaning or sunken markers, re-adhering separated sections and securing damaged or toppled monuments. Available throughout Missouri via our Midwest network with a single point of contact.
Monument Repair across Missouri, coordinated from first call to final photo
Stones lean, bases sink and sections separate over time — or after an accident. Our crews reset leaning and sunken markers, re-bed and re-level bases, re-adhere separated pieces and secure toppled or damaged monuments using cemetery-approved methods. We assess the cause before we repair, so the fix lasts. Please don’t push or lift an unstable stone yourself — send photos and let a crew review it. Every repair is documented with before-and-after photos.
Across Missouri, monument repair is delivered through our Midwest network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in Illinois, Ohio supporting scheduling across the region.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Missouri is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Before repairing a government marker in Missouri
VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 3 cemeteries in Missouri: 1 open for new burials, 1 open for cremated remains only and 1 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 5 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemeteries in Missouri.
VA will replace a government headstone, marker or medallion that is damaged beyond repair, or has deteriorated so it no longer identifies the person buried.

Replacement is requested through VA’s electronic ordering systems where the cemetery uses them, or with VA Form 40-1330 or 40-1330M where it does not.
Source: 38 CFR 38.630
Government-furnished headstones, markers and medallions remain U.S. Government property and should not be defaced or altered in any way.

Jefferson Barracks became the army's first permanent base west of the Mississippi River.
By the 1840s, it was the largest military establishment in the United States.

John Polk Campbell is credited as the founder of Springfield.
He arrived with his brother Madison in 1829, and upon finding a viable water supply carved his initials on an ash tree to establish his claim.
