Grave care services

What happens on a visit, in plain terms. Any of these can be booked on their own.

Fresh and silk flowers

Fresh arrangements for a specific date, or fade-resistant silk designed to hold colour for a full season outdoors.

  • Fresh flowers are cut and placed within a day of your date.
  • Silk arrangements use UV-stable stems, not the dyed craft-store kind that whiten in a month.
  • Vase arrangements are weighted or staked so storms and mowers do not take them.

From $55

Wreaths and headstone saddles

Saddles that sit over the top of an upright monument, and wreaths on stands for flat markers and lawn sections.

  • Sized to your marker, so nothing overhangs a neighbouring plot.
  • Evergreen, seasonal or permanent, depending on the time of year.
  • Secured against wind — the most common reason decorations disappear.

From $75

Seasonal decoration

A change of arrangement for each season, placed and removed on schedule without you having to think about it.

  • Ten collections across the year, from spring through Christmas.
  • Old decorations are removed and disposed of properly each time.
  • You approve the style once; we keep to it every season.

From $69

Grave and headstone cleaning

Careful, stone-safe cleaning of granite, marble and limestone markers, plus trimming and clearing around the plot.

  • Soft brushes, water and stone-appropriate cleaners only — never bleach, acid or pressure washing.
  • Lichen and biological growth removed gradually over visits on older stones.
  • Edges trimmed, sunken areas noted, and anything the cemetery should repair reported to you.

From $85

Vase repair and replacement

Cracked, missing or stuck vases replaced with cemetery-approved fittings that actually stay put.

  • Bronze, granite and in-ground vases sourced to match your marker.
  • Stuck or corroded vases freed and reseated where possible.
  • We check cemetery rules before fitting anything new.

From $65

Candles and tribute placement

Solar memorial lights, glass candles, flags, figurines and keepsakes placed exactly where you ask.

  • Solar lights are a safe alternative where open flame is not permitted.
  • Veteran and service flags set straight and squared to the marker.
  • Personal keepsakes handled carefully and photographed in place.

From $45

Memorial date decoration

Birthdays, death anniversaries, weddings, Mother's and Father's Day — the dates that matter to your family, held in our calendar.

  • Give us the dates once and we schedule them for the year.
  • A handwritten-style message card can be printed and placed.
  • Photographs land in your inbox on the day itself.

From $79

Photo verification

Dated photographs of every visit — before, after, and a wider shot showing the surrounding plot.

  • Included with every service at no extra cost.
  • Sent by email the same day, usually within a few hours.
  • A short written note on the condition of the stone and grounds.

Included with every visit

A word about headstone cleaning

Most damage to old markers is done by people trying to help. Household bleach, acidic cleaners and pressure washers strip the surface of marble and limestone and leave stone that weathers faster every year.

We use water, soft brushes and cleaners chosen for the stone in front of us, and we work gradually. A badly weathered nineteenth-century marker may take two or three visits to come back. That is the right pace, and we will tell you if a stone should be left alone entirely.

Let us take care of the visit

Tell us where the grave is and what you would like. We will confirm what is possible, agree a date, and send you photographs when it is done.
