Bringing weathered and neglected monuments back to dignity — growth removal, refinishing and inscription revival. 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.
Older monuments can lose their finish and legibility to decades of weather, lichen and staining. Restoration goes beyond a routine clean: we remove biological growth, treat and refinish weathered granite and bronze, and revive faded inscriptions where the stone allows. Not every worn letter or aged surface can safely return to a like-new look — we explain the realistic result and the limits before we start, and follow cemetery-approved methods. Each project is recorded with before-and-after photos.
Across New York, monument restoration 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 the monument location, material and photos of its current condition.
Growth removal, refinishing and inscription revival within safe, agreed limits.

Restoration starts with knowing a cemetery’s history. Here is what VA publishes for Bath National Cemetery.
Bath National Cemetery is located in Steuben County, NY, adjacent to the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
The cemetery was originally a part of the New York State Soldiers and Sailors Home, which was established in 1877; the cemetery was dedicated in December 25, 1879.
In 1930, the Soldiers and Sailors Home and cemetery became two integrated components of the Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC).
When 82 national cemeteries were transferred from the Department of Army to the Veterans Administration in 1973, the Bath VAMC cemetery became part of the National Cemetery System and was designated appropriately.
Bath is the final resting place of the "first and oldest" U.S. MIAs (Missing in Action).
The 40-foot high granite Preservation of the Union Monument whose benefactor, Samuel Dietz, was dedicated to Civil War soldiers and sailors.
The 1812 monument marks the location of 28 soldiers from the War of 1812 who were repatriated from another site and re-interred at the cemetery in 1988.
Medal of Honor recipients VA lists as interred or memorialized here include Corporal George M. Grueb (Civil War); Sergeant John Kiggins (Civil War); Private George Ladd (Civil War).

“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.”
