Grave cleaning maintenance services for your loved ones, making grief more graceful
DISCOVER OUR CARE PLANSHey, I’m Jay McGregor, a Radio and TV Presenter and the founder of Graceful Graves. I created Graceful Graves after sadly losing my dad in March 2020, when I found myself always cleaning and tidying his grave. I was there so frequently, that other visitors often asked me if that was my job and if I could help them too.
Caring for someone you love doesn’t have to end when they die, but nobody teaches you about death-care. So Graceful Graves is on a mission to change that, by making it modern and more human - by providing mobile grave cleaning and maintenance services for your loved ones as we make grief, more graceful.

All plans are inclusive of a before and after clean photograph.
Current availability is limited to London only.
We clean graves and headstones, tidy plots, remove moss and grime, replace or arrange flowers.
We do not undertake structural repairs (e.g. fixing broken stones), re‑lettering, excavation, heavy gardening, or masonry work.
Currently, our cleaning and maintenance services are available only in London. If you’re outside London, you’re welcome to share your name, contact, and grave location, so we can reach you when we expand. Pricing for out‑of‑area requests is on a case‑by‑case basis, depending on travel/time/supply costs.
Our team aims to respond within 3 business days. Sometimes, during busy periods, response may take longer.
Thank you for your patience.

Look, grief is weird. It wears many different faces. It can make you laugh. It can make you cry. It can come at you at off times in the night. Some cultures celebrate death and party for days. Others mourn, send lilies and wear black.
The Grief Club is a podcast hosted by Jay McGregor, radio presenter and founder of Graceful Graves, exploring grief in all its facets.
Every two weeks we will explore grief in a human way, trying to make it more graceful and human, using empathy as a superpower, with our guests, to talk about it.
Because for us grieving is healing.
And when we grieve, together is better.
