Grave care can only be requested when the grave can be located precisely. The size of the grave and the selected service are the main factors used to calculate the price.
Grave care by GraveStay
GraveStay can provide care once the exact location of the grave is known. A photo showing its current condition also helps with assessing the work required.
Requirements for grave care
Exact grave location
Describe the route to the grave or provide a map pin from Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. The information must make it possible to locate the grave precisely on site.
Photo of the current condition
A current photo is recommended. It is used to assess the grave’s present condition, which is taken into account when the price is calculated.
If the grave has not yet been located
If this information is unavailable, we recommend ordering a grave search from GraveStay first. After the grave search, the located grave is added to the GraveStay database. The required services can then be requested for that location.
