Safe granite and bronze deep cleaning and biological growth treatment using cemetery-approved methods. Available throughout New York via our Northeast network with a single point of contact.
Send the cemetery name, its address, the plot details and a short note about the work you need. Clear photos help show the stone, its base and the ground around it. Include any rules you have received from the cemetery. These details help us review the job before we quote.
The price depends on the stone, its size and state, the plot access and the work you choose. Some services have published price ranges, while others need a review first. Ask for an itemized quote so you can see the agreed tasks. Do not assume that delivery, permits and setting are all the same charge.
Yes. Monument Services Group accepts intake in both New York and Washington, with service confirmed per cemetery. We coordinate with the cemetery for the work agreed in your quote. Our Washington location is in Tukwila; New York uses our Northeast network. Share the actual cemetery address so we can check the local steps for your job.
Yes. Each cemetery can set rules for the plot, the stone and who may work on the grounds. Ask its office for the current written rules and share them with us. Our permit assistance covers forms and coordination where needed. Approval must be settled before work starts; a quote does not replace cemetery consent.
Photo reports are part of our stated service process. They let you see the work without being at the plot in person. Ask which views will be included for your job, and keep the agreed scope with the final photos. If you have a question about a detail, refer to that scope when you contact us.
Check official New York cemetery consumer guidance and Washington cemetery rules and resources. The cemetery must confirm the requirements for your plot.
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.
Across New York, deep cleaning is delivered through our Northeast network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in New Jersey, Pennsylvania supporting scheduling across the region.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in New York is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.
Send us the monument location and current condition.

VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 10 cemeteries in New York: 4 open for new burials, 3 open for cremated remains only and 3 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 1 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemetery in New York.
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.”

Cleaning visits should respect each cemetery’s monuments, decorations and schedule. Here is what VA publishes for Woodlawn National Cemetery.
The United States government erected the Shohola Monument in 1911 to commemorate a tragic railroad accident that took the lives of both Confederate and Union soldiers during the Civil War.
Starting in 1906, the government began a program to mark the graves of Confederate prisoners of war and this monument was one of the earliest monuments to be erected.

In 1861, the town was both a training and marshalling center for Union soldiers during the Civil War.
As trainees were eventually assigned to military units and the barracks emptied, the federal government used the buildings as a prisoner-of-war camp.
Originally known as Camp Rathbun, and designated Camp No. 3 during its existence from summer 1864 until the end of the war, this camp housed approximately 12,000 Confederate enlisted men.
Confederate POWs were transported by rail from locations such as Point Lookout, MD, and Old Capital Prison in Washington, DC, to Elmira.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
