Monument Repair across West Virginia, 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 West Virginia, 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 West Virginia is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

History

Grafton National Cemetery is located in West Grafton, Taylor County, WV.
In 1867, Maj. R. C. Bates was ordered by the War Department to locate a permanent burial site for the Union soldiers who had died in hospitals and battlefields throughout West Virginia.
Bates chose the Grafton location because it was relatively level in a region noted for mountainous terrain and it was near Maple Avenue Cemetery where many war dead had already been buried.
The federal government appropriated the three-acre site in 1867.
The steep slope was graded into three terraces with a walkway down the center that divides the cemetery into two equal parts.

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.”
