"Every headstone tells a story. My job is to make sure that story can still be read."
Grave Care Glasgow is a dedicated headstone cleaning and grave restoration service covering Glasgow and surrounding areas.
Whether you live locally or abroad, we provide a respectful, thorough service and keep you updated with photos throughout. Many of our clients are families who cannot visit in person but want their loved one's resting place properly cared for.
Every grave is different. We tailor our approach to the stone type, level of soiling, and your family's wishes.
Removal of surface dirt, moss, and light biological growth. Ideal for headstones that need a refresh. Safe methods suited to the stone type.
Deep clean including lichen and algae removal, biological treatment to prevent regrowth. Ideal for heavily stained or neglected stones.
Restoration of faded or worn inscriptions. We carefully re-paint lettering to bring names and dates back to prominence.
Four scheduled visits per year to keep a grave looking its best in every season. Ideal for families who want continued peace of mind without having to arrange each visit separately.
Fresh or artificial flower arrangements placed respectfully at your loved one's grave. A thoughtful touch for families who can't visit in person.
Supply and laying of stone chippings to give the grave a clean, neat appearance. Available in a range of colours to suit any headstone.
All photos shared with the kind permission of families. Results vary by stone type and condition.
We're proud to be trusted by Glasgow families near and far.
"Excellent and professional service provided by Grave Care Glasgow. The headstone looks like new again and is nearly 20 years old!"
"I used this service recently to clean and redo lettering on two family gravestones. One had not been touched in many years. Both came up beautifully, better than I expected. Communication was excellent, and I would definitely recommend this small business."
"I contacted David to enquire about cleaning my family's gravestone, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service. He responded very quickly, provided a reasonable quote, and completed the work promptly and professionally. He even went above and beyond without charging extra, which I really appreciated. The before-and-after photos and regular updates were a great touch. I'll definitely be using his service again."
Most cemeteries in Central Scotland allow open access, so in the majority of cases no special permission is needed. If access is restricted we'll let you know before any work is carried out.
