Bringing weathered and neglected monuments back to dignity — growth removal, refinishing and inscription revival. Served across Washington with a local network near Tukwila.
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.
In Washington, monument restoration is supported by our 1 showroom and warehouse location in Tukwila. These are listed locations, not a promise of shorter lead times or lower charges. Confirm access, crew availability and the full scope for your cemetery before booking.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Washington 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.

VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 4 cemeteries in Washington: 1 open for new burials, 1 open for cremated remains only and 2 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 1 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemetery in Washington.
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.

Bronze made before the 1970s was not sealed and carries a blue-green patina that cleaning will not remove.

Government-furnished headstones, markers and medallions remain U.S. Government property and should not be defaced or altered in any way.

Restoration starts with knowing a cemetery’s history. Here is what VA publishes for Tahoma National Cemetery.
Tahoma National Cemetery was established November 11, 1993, and opened for interments on October 1, 1997.
The cemetery was dedicated on September 26, 1997.
A small expansion project was completed in March 2006.
The $6 million project included over 12,000 new columbarium niches, more than 5,000 pre-placed crypts, road improvements, new signage, a third committal shelter and a third funeral cortege lane at the Public Information Center.
Phase II of the expansion project was completed in June 2014.
Medal of Honor recipients VA lists as interred or memorialized here include Corporal Jesse T. Barrick (Civil War); Sergeant Dexter J. Kerstetter (World War II); Master Sergeant Wilburn K. Ross (World War II).
The cemetery staff will place three floral arrangements, which accompanied the casket or urn at the time of burial, on the completed grave.
Quoted from the official page for Tahoma National Cemetery (cem.va.gov), checked October 23, 2026. Rules, hours and burial status can change, so confirm with the cemetery before scheduling work.

“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.”
