Grave care means keeping the site in order — from a one-off tidy before the cemetery remembrance days to regular seasonal care throughout the year. The service is often ordered by families whose relatives live in another city or abroad and cannot come themselves. This article covers the essentials: what grave care includes, how a one-off tidy differs from regular care and what the price depends on.
If the grave has not been tended for a long time or you want it looked after regularly, Riga City Funeral Service will take it on. Call: +371 2944 9849
| Service | What is included |
|---|---|
| One-off tidy | Clearing leaves, branches and weeds, washing the monument, levelling the sand |
| Regular seasonal care | Keeping the grave in order several times a season on a schedule |
| Improvement | Restoring or replacing the cross, adding sand, planting and watering flowers |
After the work we send a photograph, so you can see the result even if you cannot come yourself. Grave care is part of the additional services that can be ordered separately.
You can name the cemetery where the grave is located from the list in the cemeteries section — we work at all the large Riga cemeteries.
The price depends on the size of the grave, its condition and whether the care is one-off or regular. The first tidy of an overgrown or long-neglected grave takes more work than upkeep. We name the exact figure after inspecting or describing the grave and fix it before the work begins — no hidden extras. For the overall cost structure, see the pricing page.
