Monument Repair in Wisconsin
Resetting leaning or sunken markers, re-adhering separated sections and securing damaged or toppled monuments. Available throughout Wisconsin via our Midwest network with a single point of contact.
Monument Repair across Wisconsin, 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 Wisconsin, monument repair is delivered through our Midwest network, so you get one clear point of contact and a crew coordinated to your cemetery — with nearby hubs in Illinois, Ohio supporting scheduling across the region.
We work with monuments purchased from any retailer — not just our own family of brands — and every visit in Wisconsin is documented with photos so distant families can see the work was done correctly and respectfully.

Before repairing a government marker in Wisconsin
VA's National Cemetery Administration lists 3 cemeteries in Wisconsin: 1 open for new burials, 0 open for cremated remains only and 2 with no new gravesites (closed). VA also lists 3 grant-funded state or tribal veterans cemeteries in Wisconsin.
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.

History
Forest Hill Cemetery was established in 1858 by the city of Madison, Wisconsin.
Burials occurred at this location for more than a thousand years, as American Indians built effigy mounds on the site between 900–1200 A.D. It is an example of the rural cemetery movement, sparked in the United States with the creation of Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The 140-acre cemetery contains the interments of many local notables, including administrators and faculty members at the University of Wisconsin.
Burials in the soldiers' lot began in 1862.
The federal government did not own the soldiers' lot until 1886, when the city of Madison donated the 0.36-acre plot, located in Section 34 of the parent cemetery.

History
In 1846, with the founding of the city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, local leaders recognized the necessity of a local cemetery.
Forest Home Cemetery was established in 1850 to meet this need.
An example of the rural cemetery movement, Forest Home Cemetery originally contained 72 acres of pastoral land located outside of the city center.
It is one the oldest rural cemeteries in the region, as well as the final resting place for many significant individuals in Wisconsin history.
Sixteen mayors of Milwaukee and five governors of Wisconsin are interred at Forest Home Cemetery.

“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.”
