A quick update from Ben at Guardians of the Headstones.

The weather’s been grim, and winter isn’t exactly going to make things easier for anyone visiting loved ones’ graves. Ben’s noticed it’s been a quiet spell for bookings, so he’s decided to step in where he can make a difference.

If someone you care about is resting somewhere you’ve been unable to get to—or the weather has just made it impossible—Ben is offering to clean a headstone free of charge for those who genuinely need the help.

Just drop us a message and we’ll get it arranged.

🌿 This Bank Holiday Monday, Ben’s already got a couple of headstone cleans lined up at Redhill Cemetery.

If anyone else would like him to give their loved one’s stone a gentle clean while he’s there, just let us know — he’d be glad to help. 💧🪦

🪣🎨 Poor Ben has been roped into painting flower pots this summer… and judging by his face, it’s not the adventure he signed up for!

He’d much rather be out doing what he loves – caring for and cleaning headstones so families can see their loved ones’ memorials looking cared for and bright again. 🌿✨

So if you’ve been meaning to have a headstone freshened up, now’s the perfect time to give us a shout – you’ll not only get a beautifully restored memorial, you’ll also save Ben from Dad’s list of “boring jobs” in the garden. 😉

📩 Message us here to book in and let Ben swap the paintbrush for his cleaning kit!

A little rain never stops Ben… ☔🧽

Today, between the showers, Ben spent time at Stapleford Cemetery 🪦 carefully cleaning headstones for several local families. Each one given the attention and respect they deserve. 💛

We want to say a heartfelt thank you 🙏 to the families who entrusted Ben to care for their loved ones’ memorials – it’s a responsibility he takes seriously and with great pride. Every stone tells a story 📖, and it’s an honour for Ben to help preserve them.

If your loved one’s headstone needs some gentle TLC ✨, please feel free to get in touch. Ben’s always happy to help – rain or shine! 🌧️☀️
