Learning About Gravestones

Keith recently visited a “Tennessee Marble” quarry.  He visited this quarry as part of his ongoing research of methods for the proper care of gravestones.

The quarry Keith visited produces a specific type of stone which has been used extensively as headstones and grave markers across the country.  He spoke with a rock expert to understand the specific characteristics of this type of rock. They discussed polishes and finishes and the porosity of the stone.

These factors help determine the proper cleaning methods.

You Do Not Need a Degree In Geology

This research helps us keep up with the latest procedures and protocols of gravestone care. But don’t worry; you do not need to be an expert in geology and you do not need to visit a stone quarry…we have already done that for you.

We put this information into the program in an easy-to-understand format.

In our grave care business program, we help you understand basic principles of proper gravestone care.  We also help you understand the different types of stones (and other materials) used as gravestones.

Gravestone Damage Caused By Lawn Mowers

information on how to avoid damaging gravestones when you are mowing cemetery grave plots.

Gravestone Damage Caused By Lawn Mowers

Spring is here and grass is growing in the cemetery. For the next several months, lawn mowing will be a much needed cemetery maintenance task. Proper mowing around gravestones takes greater care than a standard mowing job of a residential lawn. There are proper procedures to follow to avoid scoring gravemarkers, damaging flower urns, and scalping uneven ground over grave sites.

Lawn Mowing in a Cemetery

When I visit a cemetery and look at gravestones, my biggest pet peeve is seeing damaging work performed by careless workers.

One of the most notoriously damaging pieces of equipment in a cemetery is the riding lawn mower. Particularly, large Zero-Turn-Radius lawn mowers operated by neglectful lawn mower operators cause extensive damage. In cemeteries during lawn mowing season, lawn mower operators are often in a big hurry to finish their mowing jobs. They speed between headstones and zoom up & down rows of grave markers. Their rubber tires grind the ground and their large mowing decks scalp the earth. More damaging than what they do to the ground, however, is the damaging effect they have on gravestones.

Here are two examples of damage caused by lawn mowers. In both of these instances, gravestone material has been scraped away by mower decks. In the third picture, I have reason to believe the monument might have been toppled after being run into, repeatedly, by a neglectful lawn care operator.

If you plan to offer grass cutting in your grave care business, please make the effort to choose proper equipment. Also, operate that equipment properly to avoid damaging tombstones and the graves you are supposed to be manicuring.
