Arlington Cemetery is pleased to offer professional Monument Cleaning & Restoration services to help preserve the beauty and dignity of your loved one’s memorial. Over time, monuments can become discolored due to weather, moss, dirt, or other environmental factors. Our trained staff uses gentle, effective techniques to clean and restore monuments, and we can also raise monuments to their proper level if needed.

  2. Inspection – Our staff will visit the site to assess the monument and determine the work needed.
  3. Quote – We’ll email you a price quote for approval.
  4. Payment – Once payment is received, we will schedule the work.
  5. Service Completion – Work is typically completed within a few weeks (weather permitting). Winter services are dependent on weather conditions.
