Seeing your post on December 21 2025 where you are tipping a headstone that is still attached on the base that most than likely has pins in it is deeply concerning. While I understand you have not cleaned a headstone for me specifically, you should be aware that handling a stone like that could easily break away the stone near those pins causing more damage.

Hi Alice, thank you for taking the time to share your concern — we genuinely appreciate it. We want to be open with you: the headstone in that post belongs to a family who hired us, and all work was carried out with their full knowledge and approval. What you saw — temporarily tilting a monument during leveling — is a standard practice in our industry, always performed by trained professionals following established safety protocols. When done correctly, it does not pose a risk to a properly pinned stone. We understand that cemetery work feels personal, even when you're not directly involved, and we respect that. At the same time, we want to make sure the full context is clear, since the brief clip didn't capture the complete process or the care behind it. We hold ourselves to a high standard on every job, and we're always happy to walk through our methods with anyone who has questions. — Tending Team
