A Personal Approach
Hello, I’m Glenn, founder of Rose & Thistle Grave Care.
I provide personal, professional grave and memorial care across the Isle of Wight. I visit each site myself, ensuring every resting place is tidy, cared for, and treated with respect. Families can have peace of mind knowing their loved ones’ graves are looked after with care.
My aim is simple: to ensure every grave is cared for respectfully and kept looking its best, all year round.

Gravestone Cleaning and Memorial Restoration
Before
After
I use gentle, specialist cleaning methods suitable for all stone types, ensuring thorough care without causing damage or discolouration.
For memorials that are worn or weathered, I can provide light restoration to help preserve their appearance and integrity, keeping your loved ones’ resting places looking cared for for years to come.

What Families Say
“We live off the Island and can’t visit as often as we’d like. Glenn now carries out bi-monthly care, tidying the grave and sending photo updates each time. It’s a huge relief knowing everything is being looked after respectfully and properly.”
“After an initial deep clean, we decided to continue with regular visits. Glenn is thorough, reliable, and always keeps us updated with photos. The ongoing care gives us real peace of mind that the grave is well maintained.”
“I booked a one-off tidy-up but was so impressed we arranged seasonal care. Glenn handles everything with care and sends updates after each visit. Knowing the grave is consistently maintained is a real comfort to our family.”
