Rome Monument is one of only a handful of monument firms in the Pittsburgh area that provides after sales service to it's memorial and headstone customers. Some of our customers contract with us to visit their family's memorial periodically to clean, maintain and brighten the stone and bronze surfaces so that they look as good as new. In most cases, headstones and gravestones are not required to be removed from their base or foundation to be cleaned, polished and maintained. In rare cases, we hoist and remove the memorial or monument with our monument setting crain truck and then take it to our Artisan Center in Monaca, PA to be repaired or restored. Obviously we receive permission from the cemetery before removing a monument from the grounds. The Rome Monument cleaning crew polishes and cleans both granite and flat bronze grave markers and monuments.
Rome Monument understands how to maintain headstones and monuments so that the place that marks the final resting place of Pittsburgh's residents is clean and beautiful. Monuments, memorials and headstones gradually become dusty, worn, discolored and dirty over times because of weather conditions such as rain, snow and wind. Grass and dirt eventually find their way onto the base, foundation and tablet of the monument. Invasive mold, lichens, algae, mildew, weeds and other plant organisms, in time start to creep up from the ground or are deposited by wind on monuments and memorials. In some cases, we work in collaboration with perpetual care cemeteries in Allegheny County to maintain and clean gravestones, mausoleums, columbariums and tombstones.

Rome Monument Volunteered to Restore Monuments Damaged by Vandals for Riverview Cemetery
Rome Monument tries extremely hard to give back to the local communities in Western PA. In 2015, Rome Monument volunteered its services to help clean the 200 headstones defaced with red paint in Riverview Cemetery in Kiski Township. A local newspaper published a story titled 'Miracle' product undoes grave marker damage in Riverview Cemetery explained the project. "Before we came in, we weren't sure it was going to work,” said John Dioguardi, retired owner of Rome Monuments. “Everything we have ever used never worked this well.” He said one benefit is that the product is not affecting the darkening agent used on the lettering. It's not leaving a ghost mark where the red paint was. “So what's happening is it's returning to what it looked like before,” Dioguardi said. “It's a miracle.”
