Resetting leaning or sunken markers, re-adhering separated sections and securing damaged or toppled monuments. 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.
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 New York, monument repair 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.
Share the cemetery location and clear photos of the damage — do not move the stone.
The crew determines the cause and resets, re-beds or re-adheres using approved methods.
You receive photos confirming the monument is secure and level.

Long Island National Cemetery is located in the community of Farmingdale in central Long Island, NY.
It was one of seven national cemeteries created between world wars, 1934–1939.
Unlike previous new cemeteries, locations were based on veterans' places of residence, especially in or near large cities.
The other interwar national cemeteries are Baltimore, Maryland; Fort Bliss and Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Fort Snelling, Minnesota; Fort Rosecrans and Golden Gate, California.
Long Island National Cemetery occupies land that once belonged to the adjacent Pinelawn Cemetery, a large private lawn-park style cemetery.
Medal of Honor recipients VA lists as interred or memorialized here include A. Corporal Anthony Casamento (World War II); A. Edmund Joseph Flaherty (World War I & II, Korea); Gunner's Mate Third Class Robert Galbraith (Philippine Insurrection).

“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.”
