grave cleaning
Tidying burial markers
Grave cleaning is the practice of washing, scrubbing, and tidying a grave or headstone—removing dirt, moss, debris, and weathering to restore the marker's appearance.
It may be performed by family members as an act of remembrance or by professionals hired for cemetery maintenance.
