Scituate's cemeteries sit close to the water, and that matters. Salt air carries inland, settles into the stone, and feeds the lichen and algae that dull a monument over time. Coastal stones need attention more often than inland ones — and they respond well when they get it.
Most cemeteries mow the lawn. They don't clean the stone, clear the debris from around the base, or put flowers out in the spring. That part has always fallen to families — and when you live an hour away, or a plane ride away, it quietly stops happening. That's the gap we fill.
Where We Work
What We Do
We use D/2 Biological Solution — the same stone-safe formula used on national monuments — applied over a minimum of three visits. No pressure washers, no wire brushes, no acids. Those methods cause permanent damage to granite, marble, and slate alike.
Leaves, sticks, and debris accumulate around foot stones and base edges year-round. We handle the careful housekeeping that keeps a site looking intentional rather than merely mowed.
Spring blooms, summer color, autumn arrangements, and Christmas wreaths — with removal included at the end of the season, in line with each cemetery's own regulations.
How It Works
Dated photographs showing the site as we found it and as we left it — so you can see exactly what was done without driving to Scituate to check.
If you'd like to see the site live, walk through a planting choice together, or simply be present from a distance, we're glad to set up a video call.
Common Questions
Yes. Salt carried inland from the coast works into the pores of the stone. When it dries it expands, which roughens polished granite and slowly erodes natural finishes. Coastal Scituate stones generally need cleaning more often than inland ones — every 12 to 18 months rather than every two years.
Yes. Older Scituate stones are often thin slate or marble and need a gentler approach than modern granite. We never use pressure washers or wire brushes on any stone, and on antique markers we work slower and check stability before touching the surface.
You receive dated photographs before and after every visit. If you'd like to see the site live, we can set up a video call and walk the plot with you.
Also Serving
We work across the South Shore. If your family has plots in more than one town, ask about combining visits.
Tell us the cemetery and roughly where the plot is — we'll confirm we can reach it and walk you through what the site needs.
