About Memorial Cleaning
A family-run Lancashire business caring for graves, headstones and memorials with dignity, compassion and attention to detail.
Care You Can Trust, Because We Treat Every Memorial as Our Own
We are a family-run business, and we pride ourselves on providing outstanding, personal customer service — the kind that means every one of our customers leaves genuinely satisfied.
Memorial Cleaning exists for one simple reason: no family should have to watch a loved one’s resting place fall into disrepair simply because life has taken them away. Some of the families we help have moved to the other end of the United Kingdom; others live across the world in the New World and beyond. Many are simply no longer able to visit as often as they would like — through age, illness or distance.
Whatever the reason, we offer a dependable, personal solution. We travel to the cemetery, tend the grave exactly as you would wish, and email or text you photographs of our work. It’s a quiet, respectful service — and for hundreds of families it makes an enormous difference.
Our Values
Four principles behind every visit we make.
Dignity & Respect
A grave is not a job site — it is someone’s favourite place. Every visit is carried out with the utmost sensitivity, discretion and care.
Compassion First
We know why you’re asking. Our service is built around reassurance: clear communication, honest advice and photo updates after each visit.
Professional Care
Gentle, non-abrasive methods suited to each type of memorial stone — protecting inscriptions and the integrity of the headstone.
Attention to Detail
From the edgings and chippings to the angle of a photograph, the small things are what make a loved one’s grave feel cherished.
Respectful Memorial Care, From Wherever You Are
We are committed to preserving the memories families hold dear. Our work removes dirt, biological growth and weather staining — helping to protect inscriptions and restore the appearance of headstones and memorials.
Where some wear, staining or decay is simply impossible to eradicate, we will always tell you honestly and recommend a local stonemason for further advice. Doing the right thing matters more to us than promising the earth.
