I sincerely from the bottom of my heart thank you for headstone cleaning. When my great grandmother passed and was buried next to her husbands that she outlived, the vaultman like you are also had a headstone cleaning service. Not only was the headstone beautifully cleaned it was so honorable to all her sons to see everything cleaned up and looking its best. It made her sons feel relieved. So again, thank you for being a gaurdian, a gaurdian of those who have left us and their resting places.
You're a man of Honor, buddy! Thanks for posting this great video on cleaning headstones; I don't set vaults so it's something I can do! And thanks for your Honorable work, be well! 🇺🇲🗽🇺🇲🎗️🇺🇲
This was an excellent video of how to clean newer head stones as well as long neglected stones. As the schmoo was rinsed away and i saw he was all of 4 days I got bigtime choked up inside. Kids are so special and I imagine especially hard to lose so young for the families. The pennies as spacers are perfect...and the resetting turned out great as did the end results on all of these headstones. You do an amazing job and i so thoroughly love the channel with the perfect mellow music.
Thank you love your videos ....my Dad died when I was 8 ..of cancer. He was in Pearl Harbor only 41 .. I have 2 brothers and a sister ahead of me. . I'm 72 now ....Mom passed in 2009 . She was 94 . Raised 4 kids by herself ... I think my Dad had no problem with that... she was a very stubborn Dutch women . I thank my Dad for being in the Army ... we lived in Denver and was glad my Mom had a military benefits to help us through. Mom was 45 when Dad passed very gutsy.... person . Thank God for that Shalom ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for what you do. The care and respect you have for your craft is evident and admirable. From the way you conduct yourself it’s evident that the work you do on and off camera is of equal quality, which is a breath of fresh air. You are a true craftsman and gentleman.
Rest in peace Rosemary ❤ you're finally with your husband Ralph after a long separation. He pair of you are lucky to have someone who loves you enough to have your headstone cleaned. 🎉
A minor point if I may: When edging, you should take care not to skin the turf. If the turf is higher than the concrete or stone, cut out the turf layer with a knife, lift up some two to three inches thick turf tiles, remove some soil from underneath and re-plant the turf tiles. That makes it look much neater and stops it from just overgrowning the stone again pretty much the next day.
Thank you for posting these videos. I have cleaned a couple of gravestones with Dawn dish soap, a soft brush and lots of water. I am going to invest in D2 after seeing your videos. What do you use for the setting compound?
Wow!🤩 What an exceptional talent you have! We can see all the love and devotion you have when you clean up the headstones. My parents are buried in Phoenix Arizona and their upright headstone has been up since 1997. There are photos of each one of them and as the years go by their photos become unrecognizable no matter what I’ve tried to clean them with. My brothers and I even hired a headstone cleaner to clean it up to not much difference. The cemetery says it’s because the water has many chemicals and is “hard” water and there’s nothing they can do. If possible, please advise me if D2 biological solution would help clean up their photos. A heartfelt thank you ❤️✨🙏
Nice video, I like visiting cemeteries when I have the time to. I never like seeing tomb stones that are covered with moss, black algae, or anything that is making them dirty, especially any headstones that mark the graves of veterans. My great grandfather who was a World War I veteran passed away in 1940 from bleeding ulcers when my grandfather was 7 years old and his tomb stone is already getting moss on it. It's not bad, but I think it should be cleaned soon.
So i don't clean headstones, but i used to specialize in hard surface cleaning... as long as you're using a doo-hicky to scrub the thing-a-ma-jig, you'll always have good results on your whatcha-ma-call-it. Those are the proper terms.
What type of stone is the best to buy? To avoid the fading as long as possible. Awesome video thumbs up. Btw, What kind of compound are you using here?
Hi, I was just curious if you ever use a power washer when you clean these headstones? Sorry if you’ve already might have addressed a similar question. I am new to your channel today.
@@deborahgeorge7610 Hi thanks for your reply! I didn’t know that. I figured a power washer would do the trick. Never knew that those stones were delicate like that.
Penny: This symbolizes visitation. It is for those who have no formal relationship with the deceased but wish to honor their service and their family. Nickel: A nickel is left by those who trained at boot camp with the departed. Dime: In the case of a dime, it indicates service alongside the departed in some capacity.

It also creates a space, so there is some thickness as it gets compressed between the stones. If there was no spacer, then the stones would squeeze so flat that virtually all the setting compound would squeeze out. Between polished surfaces, there needs to be a little bit of space so that "grabbing" can occur.
Yes, they were. Pennies are inexpensive, easily available spacers. There has to be a space, so there is some thickness as the setting compound gets compressed between the stones.

Do you provide a guide for cleaning fees? How much do you charge in 2024 to clean graves and headstones? Love your videos. Thanks.

Good job bro from malaysia
Love your videos could you please turn the back ground music down a little it's hard to hear you. Keep up the good work ❤
Your music is too funeral like
Do you find it necessary to have some form of insurance while cleaning headstones? Thanks.
Beautiful and meaningful work that you do
What type of stone is the best to buy? To avoid the fading as long as possible. Awesome video thumbs up. Btw, What kind of compound are you using here?
Thanks for all that you do. What do you use to film all your content?
I use my Galaxy S23 Ultra

You can really damage stones with hard blast of water especially older limestone.
@@deborahgeorge7610 Hi thanks for your reply! I didn’t know that. I figured a power washer would do the trick. Never knew that those stones were delicate like that.
The body viewing music kills me on this channel
Whats the name of the soundtrack used around 42:40?
I would like to know as well. Very calming and beautiful song.
Someone said you could use baby oil on a head stone to clean it
No not good. The D2 is the only recognized solvent to use.
Why did you add pennies under the stone when you reset it?
Penny: This symbolizes visitation. It is for those who have no formal relationship with the deceased but wish to honor their service and their family. Nickel: A nickel is left by those who trained at boot camp with the departed. Dime: In the case of a dime, it indicates service alongside the departed in some capacity.
@@wilber.Who knew? Not me that's for sure.
Spacers. Historically lead wedges were used.

There is NO a sign of cross on any of those gravestones. Are you in USA christians at all. Very sad.
Are those pennies that you set into the anchors of the base to reset the headstone 🪦?????
Yes, they were. Pennies are inexpensive, easily available spacers. There has to be a space, so there is some thickness as the setting compound gets compressed between the stones.
