Frequently asked questions

A headstone, marker, or monument's cleanliness duration varies by two primary factors, material and environment. Regular maintenance is recommended every 6-12 months for granite or marble, and every 4-6 months for porous stones like limestone or sandstone. Bronze markers should be cleaned and waxed every 6 months to maintain their beauty.
Limestone and sandstone are more prone to deep staining and require more frequent light cleaning to maintain their beauty and prevent stone erosion. Granite and Marble needs cleaned to prevent buildup of lichen, moss and dirt.
High humidity, extensive shade and lack of sunshine encourages organic growth, requiring more cleaning as well.
Polishing Memories uses the highest quality products available that are designed to keep working for months after cleaning. We tell our customers that while the difference is incredible when seeing the before and after photos we provide, wait a few weeks or a month and it will be even more impressive.

The answer is YES, absolutely. But to qualify for a discount the stones must be in the same cemetery and be relatively in the same location. If Polishing Memories is required to pack up supplies and move to a completely different section of the cemetery, there will still be a discount but it will not be as great.
