& Grave Care in Central NY

At Big Country Monuments, our commitment to honoring your loved ones doesn’t end at the time of placement. Over time, cemetery plots can show signs of wear from weather, soil conditions, moss, or neglect. That’s why we provide comprehensive cemetery plot maintenance and grave care throughout Cortland and the surrounding areas so your family’s legacy is preserved with the dignity it deserves.

Keeping Gravesites Beautiful Year After Year

Headstones and grave markers are meant to last, but they still require upkeep. Rain, snow, sun, and seasonal shifts in Cortland’s climate can lead to staining, discoloration, biological growth, and structural wear. Our cemetery plot maintenance includes respectful, hands-on care to restore and protect memorials.

Cemetery Plot Maintenance

Grave cleaning

We Offer:

  • Grave Cleaning – Removing dirt, moss, and buildup from headstones and markers using safe, non-abrasive methods.

  • Monument Restoration – Repairing cracks, stabilizing leaning stones, and restoring damaged or weather-worn inscriptions.

  • Grass & Plot Trimming – Ensuring the area around the monument is clear of overgrowth, weeds, and debris.

  • Annual or Seasonal Care Plans – For families who live out of town or simply want the peace of mind of scheduled upkeep.

We treat every resting place with the respect and attention we’d give our own family.

Why Cemetery Plot Maintenance Matters

Neglected gravesites don’t just look unkempt—they can deteriorate faster. Water buildup, shifting soil, and unchecked plant growth can all damage the monument’s foundation or cause permanent staining. Regular cleaning and minor repairs go a long way toward preventing costly restoration later.

This kind of care also honors the memory of your loved one. For families who can’t visit as often, professional maintenance ensures the site remains a respectful, peaceful place for reflection. Read more about why grave cleaning matters.
