You keep their memory.We care for their memorial.

We’re accepting requests from a small number of families right now.

The Care Report
Every visit,
shown and explained.
After each visit, you receive dated photographs and a written note on the memorial’s condition, the care provided, and anything we think you should know.
The before and after photographs are taken from the same place, so you can compare the memorial’s condition. Additional photographs show the finished tribute.
It’s yours to keep, and to share with family.

A careful process,
handled for you.
Start with what you know about the memorial. We’ll confirm what is possible before anything is agreed.
02
Confirming the restrictions
Every cemetery has its own rules for memorial cleaning and tributes. We review them and confirm what is possible before anything is agreed or paid.
03
Preparing the tribute
We show you the tribute options that suit both the cemetery and the memorial, and you choose the one that feels right. We handle the arrangement and assign its mounting from the verified memorial and cemetery information.
04
Assessing the memorial
Before cleaning, we inspect the stone for cracks, instability, flaking or other signs of fragility. If there is a concern, we leave it untouched, explain what we found and direct you to the cemetery or a qualified monument professional.
05
Completing the visit
Where cleaning is appropriate, we clear loose debris and work by hand with water, soft natural or nylon brushes, and methods suited to the material. Never power washing, metal brushes or power tools.
We place the permitted tribute and leave the area in order.
06
Delivering the Care Report
After the visit, we prepare and email your Care Report.

Norwalk, Connecticut
KindlyKept Memorial Care is based in Norwalk, CT, and run by its founder, Zack Bartolo.
It began with a simple belief: caring for someone’s resting place is one of the ways we keep their memory. Our own family’s memorials are where we begin.
Every visit is made by us, by hand, and only at cemeteries where we’ve confirmed the care is allowed.
