Joe Saves Graves

I follow the Arlington National Cemetery's headstone cleaning guidelines for all my restoration projects. I believe in preserving history without making permanent changes, so future conservators can continue to maintain and repair these important monuments.

Cemeteries are outdoor museums. We memorialize our people and history for future generations to appreciate. As conservators and stewards, our work ensures that these memorials remain legible and intact for years to come.

I avoid cleaning headstones of criminals. My work involves both paid and freelance headstone cleaning for deserving individuals, with a strict policy of never charging military families. I strive to tell the best stories possible, providing detailed links for further information.

If your loved one's headstone needs attention, please feel free to contact me. Based in Chicago, I am available for travel. Whether it's cleaning a family plot with multiple stones, repainting, or restoration, I'm here to help.
