Why Choose Us?

 

Lichen growth is a natural occurrence, particularly on stone memorials that have stood for years. While lichen does not cause immediate damage, if left untreated, it can slowly wear down the surface of the stone, making it more difficult to maintain over time. When families visit a loved one’s grave, they want to see a well-kept, respectful tribute, not a memorial that appears neglected. That is why knowing how to properly clean lichen off headstone surfaces is essential to preserving its original beauty.

​

At William Kent Memorials Ltd., we use gentle yet effective techniques to remove lichen while ensuring the integrity of the stone remains intact. Harsh chemicals and abrasive scrubbing can cause irreversible damage, so it is important to trust experienced professionals who understand the delicate nature of memorial restoration. Whether the headstone is made of granite, marble, or limestone, our careful cleaning methods help restore its appearance without causing harm.

​

Caring for a memorial is about more than just maintenance—it is about honouring a loved one’s memory. A clean, well-preserved headstone is a lasting tribute to the life it represents. We take pride in assisting families with this important responsibility, ensuring that their loved one’s memorial remains a source of comfort and remembrance for generations to come.
