Over the years, exposure to the elements can cause your loved ones' memorials to degrade if properly taken care of.  In the fall, fallen leaves build up around the bases, creating fertile ground for mold and mildew when temperatures rise again in the spring. These growths, along with bird droppings and other stains, will gradually darken your monument or mausoleum so much that text may eventually be illegible. Quincy Memorials Inc., the Boston area’s custom memorials specialist, will remove years of grime without damaging the material, leaving your memorials looking like new.

With 60 years of experience making and cleaning monuments, this company possesses the skills and equipment to restore any type of material, from rose quartz headstones to bronze statue emplacements. Bronze is particularly susceptible to damage from the elements—over time the outer surface oxidizes, hiding the beautiful golden metal under a green patina. Luckily, the correct solution of strong cleaning agents, along with power washers and hard bristled brushes, can remove this oxidized layer, revealing a plaque or figure as unblemished as the day it was installed.

Having a clean, well-tended memorial marker makes visiting the gravesite a better experience, creating the impression that the departed is still alive in spirit and providing a sense that their memories are being cared for.

Regardless of the material your monument is made out of, or the condition that it’s in, Quincy Memorials Inc. will uncover its original beauty with care, expertise, and respect. Prices vary depending on the monument’s size, so visit them online or call (800) 696-4402 for a quote, or for help with any other funeral plans.
