Monument Repair across Tennessee, 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 Tennessee, monument repair is delivered through our South network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in Florida, Oklahoma, South Carolina supporting scheduling across the region.

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

Tennessee cemetery facts

Before repairing a government marker in Tennessee

VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 6 cemeteries in Tennessee: 3 open for new burials, 3 open for cremated remains only and 0 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 5 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemeteries in Tennessee.

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.
Source: 38 CFR 38.630
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.

Featured Tennessee cemetery

Before any repair near a veteran’s grave, check the cemetery’s own status and features. Here is what VA publishes for Chattanooga National Cemetery.

Chattanooga National Cemetery

Monuments and memorials

Chattanooga National Cemetery is home to one of five monumental masonry archways that originally served as the formal entrance to national cemeteries found in the South.
Three are managed by NCA: Marietta, GA, built 1883; Chattanooga, TN, built ca.1880; and Nashville, TN, built ca.1870.
These Roman-inspired structures are approximately 35 feet high with Doric columns, a pair of ornamental iron gates, and inscriptions above.

Floral and grounds rules

The cemetery director, in coordination with the network office, determines these periods for each cemetery depending on climate and other factors.
The Department of Veterans Affairs does not permit adornments that are considered offensive, inconsistent with the dignity of the cemetery, or considered hazardous to cemetery personnel.

History

On December 25, 1863, Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas, "The Rock of Chickamauga," issued General Orders No. 296 creating a national cemetery in commemoration of the Battles of Chattanooga, November 23–27, 1863.
Gen. Thomas selected the cemetery site during the assault of his troops that carried Missionary Ridge and brought the campaign to an end.
The land was originally appropriated, but later purchased, from local residents Joseph Ruohs, Robert M. Hooke and J. R. Slayton.
The site Thomas selected was approximately 75 acres of a round hill rising with a uniform slope to a height of 100 feet; it faced Missionary Ridge on one side and Lookout Mountain on the other.
Gen. Grant established his headquarters on the summit of the hill during the early phase of the four-day battle for Lookout Mountain.

Medal of Honor

Medal of Honor recipients VA lists as interred or memorialized here include Technical Sergeant Charles H. Coolidge (World War II); A. Master Sergeant Ray E. Duke (Korea); Corporal Desmond T. Doss (World War II).

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.”
