Frequently Asked Questions
Isn't the cemetery responsible for maintenance of gravesites?
Cemetery maintenance crews do an impeccable job caring for the cemetery as a whole. Due to the typically large size of cemeteries their priority has to be mowing, preservation of buildings and road maintenance. They are unable to spend the detailed amount of time required for each individual plot.

I pay for perpetual care, why do I need a separate grave tending service?
Perpetual care pays for upkeep, maintenance and repair of the cemetery grounds. Family members are responsible for the headstone and keeping the gravesite clean.

What if the cemetery has restrictions?
We check your cemetery's rules and regulations before we place any flowers or items at the gravesite. We will inform you of any limitations that may impede on your request.

I haven't been able to visit the gravesite for a long time. I'm not sure if it is in disrepair or in need of cleaning.
We will notify you immediately if there are any condition problems. You will also be able to view the headstone or marker in the before and after pictures we take during each visit.

Will cleaning my headstone cause damage?
We abide by a do no harm ideology. While cleaning your gravesite we only use non-ionic, biodegradable cleaners, soft bristle brushes, sponges and a low water pressure system. We will always do a thorough inspection on a headstone before proceeding with cleaning to ensure it's integrity.

What do you deliver?
We can deliver fresh floral arrangements, potted plants, wreaths, cards, photos, keepsakes, or other items you request.

Can you deliver a message for me?
When we visit a gravesite as part of a care plan or floral delivery we can read a verbal message, a poem, or a prayer. We also deliver written messages that will be kept private in a sealed envelope.

How do payments work?
Annual care plans may be paid in full at the time of contract signing or billed on a quarterly basis. All other plans and flower deliveries must be paid in full within 5 days of receiving invoice.
Payments can be made by personal cheque, cash or interac e-transfer.
*a $45 NSF fee will be charged to any returned cheque.

What takes place during a visit from Always Remembered?
We start with removing leaves, twigs and other unwanted debris. We then remove any weeds from around the marker and within the gravesite. Grass seed and fertilizer are applied, if required. The grass around the marker is hand trimmed and foliage that overlaps or obscures the stone is removed.
The marker is then lightly scrubbed to remove dirt, moss and pollution using biodegradable, non-abrasive solutions. The headstone or marker is gently buffed to remove streaks and restore shine. We finish with a thorough watering of the entire site.
Once cleaning has been completed we will place pre-ordered flowers and offer any prayers or verbal messages requested.
*Before and after pictures will always be provided to all family members.
