Utah County · Headstone Care
Sacred Stone visits, cleans gently, and sends you photos — so a family memorial across town or across the country is never left unattended.
The Process
Give us the cemetery, name, and section or plot number if you have it.
A single cleaning, or ongoing care once, twice, or four times a year.
Added to our monthly route. We clean gently, using stone-safe methods only.
A before-and-after report lands in your inbox after every visit — and only then do you pay.
Pricing
Most headstone cleaners in Utah County won't give you a number until you've spoken to someone. Here are ours.
How often should we visit?
How many markers?
Caring for more than one? Every marker after the first at the same cemetery is discounted — we're already there.
Spring and fall visits keep a marker ahead of the growing season and the winter grime. The most popular choice.
No payment now — and nothing to pay until the work is done. We confirm by text, clean, send you the photos, and then you pay.
Our Work
Lichen, hard-water film, and years of grime lift away — and the lettering becomes readable again.
Illustration. Drag the handle to compare. Photographs of our own completed work will replace this.
Our Promise
Look at the photo report. If you aren't happy with how the marker looks, tell us within 30 days and we return and clean it again at no charge. If it still isn't right after that, we refund that visit. No argument, no forms.

Our Standard
No bleach, no acid, no pressure washing, no abrasive tools — only preservation-safe cleaning suited to granite, marble, and bronze.
No guessing whether the work was done — every visit ends with dated before-and-after photos sent directly to you.
Our rates are printed on this page. If your marker will cost more than the standard rate, you hear it before we start, not after.
Based in Utah County. Not a call center and not a rotating crew — two people, Jacob and Isaac, and you'll know which of us is coming.
About Us
Sacred Stone is run by two people: Jacob Bingham and Isaac Otto. We grew up together, we've both lived in Utah County for the last few years, and we're both working our way through college. That's the honest reason this business exists — and it's also why we take it seriously. When you call, you get one of us. Not a dispatcher, and not whichever contractor happened to be free that week.
The idea came from our own grandparents' headstones. Utah's hard water leaves a chalky film on granite that most families assume is just age — and once we noticed it, we couldn't stop noticing it, on their markers and on half the stones around them. So we looked into who cleans them. We found a few good monument companies, most of whom treat cleaning as a sideline to selling stones, and almost nobody who would give you a price without a phone call first. Utah County seemed underserved. We decided to do something about it.
We aren't new to this kind of work. We both spent our high school years building and running landscape maintenance companies — routes, schedules, seasonal work, and customers who expected the same standard on the tenth visit as the first. Headstones are more delicate than lawns and the stakes are a great deal more personal, but the discipline is identical: show up when you said you would, do it properly, and prove it.
We're a young company, and we'd rather say so plainly than pad this page with claims we can't stand behind. What we promise instead is specific. Every visit ends with photographs. Every rate is printed on this page. And if we ever get it wrong, we come back and make it right — that's our names on it.

Questions
A one-time cleaning is $65. Recurring care is $60 a visit once a year, $50 a visit twice a year, or $45 a visit four times a year — the more often we come, the less each visit costs, because a well-maintained marker takes less work. Unusually large or badly weathered markers can cost more, and we tell you before we do the work.
Yes, and it costs less per marker. Once we've made the drive to a cemetery, the additional markers there are mostly just time — so every marker after the first at the same cemetery is discounted: $45 each on a one-time visit, and $42, $35, or $32 a visit on recurring care. Markers at a different cemetery mean a separate trip, so those are priced as a first marker. Use the calculator above, or just tell us on the order form and we'll confirm the exact total.
After the work is done — not before. You send an order with no payment and no card. We text you to confirm the price and timing, we clean the marker, we email you the before-and-after photos, and then you pay. Venmo is easiest for us right now, but we'll work with whatever suits you. If you aren't happy with what you see in the photos, say so before you pay anything.
No. We use gentle, non-ionic cleaning solutions built specifically for cemetery monuments — the same standards used by preservation professionals. Nothing abrasive, nothing acidic, no bleach, and never a pressure washer.
Every visit ends with a dated before-and-after photo report sent to you. You can see the marker's condition yourself without driving to the cemetery — that's the entire point of the service.
Tell us within 30 days of the photo report and we come back and clean it again at no charge. If it still isn't right, we refund that visit.
Yes. Recurring care can be paused or canceled before your next scheduled visit, with no penalty and no cancellation fee.
It helps, but isn't required — we can often locate a grave using the cemetery, name, and approximate date if you don't have the section and lot number.
In most Utah County cemeteries, routine cleaning by a family or someone acting for them is permitted, though rules vary and some require notice. We check the cemetery's policy before the first visit so you don't have to. More on cemetery rules here.
Yes. Bronze veteran markers need different handling than granite — no harsh chemicals, and never anything that strips the patina. Here's how we approach them.
Let us take care of it — so you don't have to carry that one more thing.
No payment up front. You pay after the cleaning, once you've seen the photos.
