Most of us have visited cemeteries with headstones and markers covered with environmental grime and biological growth such as moss, lichens and mold. The grime and dirt can be removed with a proper cleaning, which will avoid causing any harm to the stone. Even though the markers are made of stone, most old markers are incredibly fragile. They suffer from “invisible’ stress cracks, delaminating layers of stone, and other age related issues.
In an effort to provide as much information and education as possible on the "do's and dont's" of grave/headstone cleaning. Our recommendation is to check out the resources available through CCUS - Cemetary Conservators for United Standards. CCUS is committed to "Do no Harm" cleaning methods.
The Cemetery Conservators for United Standards is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization of cemetery conservators & preservationists from around the country.
