Getting to Alton
Alton is about 100 miles from our base at 9775 Deer Run Rd, Williamsburg. We cover Godfrey, Bethalto and Wood River on the same trip, so graves in more than one cemetery can often be done in a single visit. Because Alton sits toward the edge of our 150-mile radius, we run this area on scheduled dates — booking two weeks ahead makes a real difference, especially for Memorial Day and Christmas.

Questions from families near Alton
When will I get the photographs?
Usually within a few hours of the visit, and always the same day. Each set includes the finished arrangement, a close view of the marker, and a wider shot of the plot and its surroundings.
Do you use fresh or artificial flowers?
Both, and the right choice depends on the date. Fresh is beautiful for a specific day such as a birthday or a funeral anniversary. UV-stable silk is better for a whole season, especially in July heat or December wind.
What about cemetery rules?
We check the rules for each cemetery before we place anything. Many restrict glass, shepherd hooks, solar lights or in-ground planting, and some clear all decorations on set dates. If a rule affects what you have asked for, we call you before the visit rather than after.
Can you clean a headstone that has gone dark or green?
Yes. We use soft brushes, water and stone-safe cleaners appropriate to granite, marble or limestone. We never use bleach, acids or pressure washing, which damage stone permanently. Very old or badly weathered markers are cleaned gradually across several visits rather than forced in one.
