What we do

When visiting any cemetery you will notice headstones in various states of repair; from new to very old. Some headstones are not able to be read due to the growth of mold, mildew, lichen, paint fade, etc. Some headstones may be laying on the ground due to frost pushing up on the base of the stone until it falls, or maybe a stone has not fallen yet but will inevitably fall if it is not looked after. Some marble stones may be leaning or have fallen and others may be broken into two or more pieces. These are the types of common issues that we can help with. We use the right products and processes with a "do no harm" approach. We can also paint faded lettering, reset most family headstones onto their bases as well as repair many types of broken marble headstones.

Headstone Clean/Paint

Thank you to Mike and Cathy for making my parents headstone look like new. I appreciate your prompt replies to my e-mails and doing the work so quickly. When I saw the headstone after it was finished all I could say was WOW!!! What a great job.

Headstone Reset, Clean/Paint

I hired Mike & Cathy to restore my grandparent's monument which had become detached from the base and fallen onto the ground. In addition, lichen and other contaminants had started to obscure the lettering which had become faded over the years. They restored the base, reset and cleaned the tablet and restored the lettering. The monument now looks as good as the day it was placed there over forty years ago. I cannot recommend In Loving Memory highly enough. Thanks for a great job.

Headstone Clean/Paint

I hired Mike Hetherington to clean and restore the tombstones of my paternal grandparents and great grandparents. I could not read the inscriptions on my great grandparent's tombstone. The results were very impressive. All the tombstones looked brand new. They had done beautiful restorations on all the tombstones. They performed the work very quickly and kept me up to date with email images. I am very pleased with the result. I will get them to correct any future problems with the tombstones.-Peter Edwards

Headstone Levelling, Clean/Paint

We recently checked the grave sites of Rhona's parents and grandparents. The tombstones were leaned and lettering needed refinishing. Mike and Cathy did a splendid job and we were very pleased. The results were amazing. They did it promptly and at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend their work. Thank you Mike & Cathy.

Headstone Cleaning

I hired Mike Hetherington in July to clean two very old marble tombstones at the Fredericton Rural Cemetery on the Woodstock Road. They were so black that I could not read my Great Grandfather Fred Vennor and my Great Great Grandfather George Venner's names. I was afraid damage could be done to the very old stones but Mike explained to me the complete process and after checking out some of his other repair jobs...I hired him. He did an amazing job and I have recommended him to many other people.
Mike takes a lot of pride in his work and his lovely wife and daughter help him do a terrific job.
TWO THUMBS UP!!-Judy Vennor Canney
