Headstone cleaning and monuments in Davison

The cleaning van is in town on the weekly Genesee County route, so a stone at Davison Cemetery on East Potter Road or Pine Grove Historical Cemetery on Bristol Road is cleaned on a date you pick, usually within the same week. Cleaning is $80 per stone, non-taxable, and we also draw, cut, deliver, and set custom monuments here under Davison Township's published marker rules.

What Davison requires, and how we meet it
Perpetual care does not cover your stone
Davison Township's perpetual care covers mowing, reseeding, and levelling sunken graves. It explicitly excludes repairing, maintaining, or replacing markers, monuments, and urns. Cleaning the stone is the family's responsibility, and that is the job we do.
Granite or bronze, and marble only if it holds up
The township accepts quality granite or standard bronze, and marble only where the quality and finish are durable. Sandstone, slate, artificial stone, fieldstone, terra cotta, wood, iron, and glass are not permitted. We quote in granite and bronze, so an order here clears that rule by default.
Foundation sizes are fixed
A single space allows a foundation up to 42 inches long, no wider than the space itself, and 20 inches deep. Multiple spaces allow up to 60 by 20 inches. Anything outside that needs the Township Clerk's sign-off. We size the base to these numbers before we cut, so nothing has to be remade on site.
One marker per space, facing east or west
Markers sit on the west side of the burial space and must face east or west, one per space. Attachments such as books, photographs, or glasswork are only allowed cast in bronze and set as a plate in the die.
Rules as published by the Davison Township cemetery regulations (see the current text). Cemetery requirements do change, so we confirm them with the office before we cut a base or set a stone.
How cleaning works in Davison
Davison sits on our weekly cleaning route out of Davison, Michigan. Pick the date that works for your family and we confirm it directly. Usually within the same week.
- Professional biological cleaning using safe soft-brush methods — no bleach, no acids, no pressure washing, no wire brushes.
- Light trimming and edging around the base where appropriate.
- Before and after photographs sent to you when the stone is finished.
- Every paid cleaning honours a veteran through the One-for-One Veteran Memorial Program.
- The number of headstones is chosen on the booking form, and that quantity is what we clean.
Stones that have leaned, sunk, or come off their base
Monument and headstone resetting and levelling is quoted rather than priced from a list, because the work depends on the size of the stone, the base beneath it, and the ground it has settled into. Send photographs and the cemetery name and we will tell you what it involves.

Questions from families in Davison
Does Davison Township clean the headstone for me?
No. The township's perpetual care covers mowing, reseeding, and levelling sunken graves, and it specifically excludes repair, maintenance, or replacement of markers and monuments. Cleaning the stone itself is left to the family, which is why we clean stones at Davison Cemetery and Pine Grove Historical Cemetery for $80 per stone.
What foundation size does Davison Township allow?
A single burial space allows a foundation up to 42 inches long, no wider than the space, and 20 inches deep. Multiple spaces allow up to 60 inches by 20 inches. Deviations need the Township Clerk's approval. We build the base to those dimensions as part of the monument order, and we confirm the current requirement with the township before we set anything.
Can I put a marble or fieldstone marker in a Davison cemetery?
Davison Township permits quality granite and standard bronze, and marble only where the quality and finish are durable. Sandstone, slate, artificial stone, fieldstone, terra cotta, wood, iron, and glass are excluded. Every monument we cut for Davison is granite or bronze, so it meets the rule as ordered.
