White marble graves do look amazing when cleaned back to new as this example from Movilla Cemetery in Newtownards shows us. Years of grime and dirt needed to be removed and old heavy slabs refitted. The effort shows what is possible.

Recapping A Grave Step by Step
After a grave has been opened and the soil and has been allowed to settled, it is then time for the interior to be re-capped or re-sealed before the decorative stones can be placed back again. The standard process begins with the grave being levelled and usually stones added to help with drainage. The levelled area is then recapped with re-inforced concrete and left for at least a few days to "cure" before the colourful decorative stones are added. This makeover usually costs approx £100 dependent on size of grave and the amount of preparation time.
Concrete recaps
All recaps of grave interiors are made from reinforced concrete after careful preparation of grave. Prices start from £100 per recap. ( Prices will vary according to preparation and size of grave) WhatsApp/Tel/Text 07718282816
