Care Hub | Expert Advice on Headstone Cleaning & Gravestone Care
Warwick District Council has barred independent companies like GraveClean from carrying out memorial cleaning and restoration work. GraveClean, the UK’s leading nationwide headstone cleaning specialist, says the decision misinterprets safety schemes, restricts family choice, and unfairly prevents disabled and elderly residents from accessing affordable, professional care.
Caring for a grave is a meaningful act of remembrance, but UK weather, moss, and time can quickly take their toll. In this guide, we share 10 practical tips for grave maintenance — from safe headstone cleaning to seasonal flower care — plus when to consider professional support.
