Home / Site tidying

Site tidying, done with respect.

Trimming, debris cleared and old decorations removed, following each cemetery's rules.

What tidying covers

A GraveMate trims around the grave, clears debris and removes old decorations. It is simple, careful work, the way you would do it yourself if you could be there.

Following the rules

Cemeteries set their own rules about what may be trimmed, left or removed. GraveMates follow each cemetery's rules, so the site is cared for without causing problems with the cemetery.

Combine it with other care

Add it to a headstone cleaning, flowers or a holiday visit. You get before and after photos as a GraveGram, and you approve the work before anyone is paid.
