Xero visits GraveClean: the story behind our memorial care

Oct 07, 2026 Nathan Williams

Xero’s Real Business Stories film with Nathan and Tyler, filmed at our former office as part of a paid partnership with Xero.

Xero visited GraveClean to meet the team and hear how our memorial care business began. The visit, filmed at our former office, became part of Xero’s Real Business Stories series.

Nathan Williams, our founder and Managing Director, and Tyler Britton, our co-founder and Technical Director, shared our story and the decisions involved in building the business.

 

It started with a family headstone

Nathan’s mum couldn’t find anyone to restore her dad’s headstone. That search became the starting point for GraveClean.

Nathan and Tyler built the business to offer the help his family had struggled to find. From that first headstone, we’ve gone on to help thousands of customers across the UK care for their memorials.

 

The work behind each visit

Alongside the work at a memorial, our office team handles the paperwork around the job, including permits and approvals where required.

That gives families less to organise themselves. Having those details taken care of can take a weight off their mind.

 

Making time for the next stage

 

 

We’d used Xero since GraveClean began. Having a live view of profit and loss each week helped us understand how the business was doing as it grew.

By the time of the visit, we’d brought in an Operations Manager. That freed up more of Nathan and Tyler’s time to plan the next stage of the business.

You can meet our team to find out more about the people behind GraveClean. If you have a memorial that needs attention, contact us to talk through the work you have in mind.
