Services and prices

Every job ends with a photo report sent to your Telegram or WhatsApp, so you see the result from wherever you live.

One-time grave cleaning

Litter and old wreaths removed, weeding, grass cutting, the headstone wiped down, the burial mound tidied. Photo report included.

₽4,500 (~$50)

Deep clean-up of a neglected plot

For plots untouched for years: overgrowth and self-seeded bushes cut back, debris bagged and taken away, the mound restored.

₽6,500 (~$72)

Seasonal care package (4 visits a year)

Spring clean before Radonitsa, summer weeding, autumn leaf removal, a pre-winter check. Photo report after every visit.

₽17,000 / year (~$190)

Grave search by name

We locate the plot through the cemetery administration using the full name and year of burial, then confirm it with photos and GPS coordinates. The request to the administration is free; you pay only for an on-site search, and only when we have told you the odds first.

from ₽1,500 (~$17)

Headstone cleaning

Moss, lichen and dark stains removed from granite and marble with stone-safe products — no acids or abrasives that dull the polish.

₽2,000–5,000 (~$22–55)

Restoring inscriptions and portrait

Engraved letters, dates and portrait lines cleaned and re-painted with stone paint, so the inscription is readable again.

from ₽1,500 (~$17)

Fence painting and repairs

Rust removed down to bare metal, anti-corrosion primer, two coats of weatherproof enamel; minor repairs of metal fences and flower beds. Price depends on fence size and corrosion.

₽10,000–20,000 (~$110–220)

Planting perennial flowers

Winter-hardy perennials — periwinkle, sedum, creeping phlox — that need no regular watering. Plants, soil and planting included.

₽1,500–4,500 (~$17–50)

Marble chippings

Decorative stone chippings laid over dense geotextile, so weeds cannot grow through. The plot looks tended all year round.

from ₽4,500 / m² (~$50)

Tree stump removal

Removal of stumps and roots that lift the headstone or fence, agreed with the cemetery administration; the pit filled and levelled.

from ₽3,500 (~$40)

We work at Moscow and Moscow region cemeteries only. Larger jobs — headstone installation, paving, new fences — are quoted individually from your photos.

What affects the price

Distance to the cemetery

Cemeteries inside Moscow and just beyond the MKAD are charged at the base rate. Distant Moscow region cemeteries add a travel charge, which we state in the quote up front — never afterwards.

Condition of the plot

A plot tended a year ago and a plot untouched for a decade are different jobs. Overgrowth, self-seeded trees and accumulated debris move a visit from the base rate towards the deep clean-up range.

Size of the monument

A standard headstone is cleaned at the base price. Large memorial complexes with a pedestal, flower bed, table and bench take more time and materials, and are quoted from photos.

If you have photos of the plot, send them with your request — we will name the exact price straight away. If not, we start with a visit and “before” photos.

No prepayment — photo report first

You send a request via Telegram, WhatsApp or the form on the site.
“Before” photos and a quote. You see the real condition of the plot; the quote is fixed before work begins.
We do the work at the agreed time.
You receive the “after” photo report with the date and GPS position of the plot.
Payment. We agree on a payment method that works for your country when confirming the order — several options are available, including payment via relatives in Russia. Payment is due after you receive the photo report.

Plan ahead: send your request 5–7 days before the date you need the grave tidied. Before Radonitsa and Trinity Sunday, when Moscow cemeteries are at their busiest, two weeks ahead is safer.

Questions about pricing

How much does grave cleaning cost in Moscow?

A one-time cleaning visit costs ₽4,500 (~$50). A neglected plot that has not been tended for years costs ₽6,500. A seasonal package of four visits a year costs ₽17,000, and monthly care — three to four visits to the same plot — ₽12,000 a month. The exact quote is fixed before work begins — after we see the plot or your photos.

Do I need to pay anything in advance?

No. We first send “before” photos and a fixed quote, do the work, and send the “after” photo report with the date and GPS position. We agree on a payment method that works for your country when confirming the order — several options are available, including payment via relatives in Russia. Payment is due after you receive the photo report.

How far in advance should I order?

Send your request 5–7 days before the date you need the grave tidied. Before Radonitsa and Trinity Sunday — the busiest memorial days at Russian cemeteries — it is better to book about two weeks ahead.
