Professional memorial care services
Apex Memorial Care offers gentle, dignified cleaning and preservation for resting places across the North East. Using safe, non-abrasive techniques, we restore stonework with genuine care and respect.
Our core care packages
From a comprehensive single visit to year-round maintenance, we ensure your family memorial remains pristine, dignified, and lovingly maintained.
One-off deep clean
A complete wash of the headstone and base. We gently lift dirt, moss, and biological growth, completing the work with a soft rinse, polish, and photographic updates.
Seasonal maintenance
Four scheduled visits per year. Includes light moss removal, vase cleaning, and a condition check each season to keep the memorial pristine all year round.
Kerb-set tidying
Full care for larger plots. Includes careful washing of headstones, kerbs, and bases, meticulous weed clearing, gravel raking, and optional stone replacement.
Safe, non-abrasive methods
We protect delicate inscriptions and stone surfaces by avoiding harsh chemicals and power washers. Every memorial is cleaned by hand using dedicated soft brushes and heritage-approved solutions.
Gentle stone restoration
We treat every memorial as an enduring tribute. Our delicate process removes atmospheric grime, lichen, and algae without eroding natural stone, preserving fine carvings and hand-cut lettering. Following every visit, we send high-resolution before-and-after photographs so you can appreciate the transformation from anywhere.
Bespoke grave care plans
In addition to our set packages, we provide tailored solutions including flower placement, vase polishing, and specific care ahead of important anniversaries or birthdays. Simply share the cemetery details, and we will provide a clear, obligation-free quote.
Timeline
From initial assessment through to thorough aftercare, we make caring for your family memorial straightforward, respectful, and completely hassle-free.
1. Enquiry & photo assessment
You send us the cemetery location and a photo of the memorial. We inspect its current condition and confirm which cleaning package best suits the stonework without obligation.

We contact the cemetery or churchyard directly if formal approval is needed. Families don’t have to organise permits or paperwork—we manage the details on your behalf.
3. Gentle, Hand‑Clean Completed
We carry out a respectful, conservation‑safe clean using soft brushes and approved solutions. No harsh chemicals, wire brushes, or pressure washers — just careful, skilled restoration

Every service includes clear before-and-after photographs so you can appreciate the transformation. If you prefer continuous peace of mind, seasonal care plans are readily available.
