Bronze markers are coated with a protective sealant to reduce tarnishing and weather damage. However, over time, exposure to the elements can lead to oxidation (a greenish patina). To maintain its appearance:
- Clean the marker with mild soap and water (avoid harsh chemicals).
- Use a soft cloth or brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Apply a protective wax or clear coating every few years for added preservation.
Each cemetery has its own regulations regarding marker size, material, and design. Some cemeteries only allow flush bronze markers, while others permit customized bases and engravings. At Tegeler Monument Company, we handle all cemetery compliance checks to ensure your marker meets their guidelines.
