However, marble is more prone to weathering and damage than other materials, and as a result, may overtime show discoloration due to exposure to the elements. If you’re set on a marble headstone, don’t worry: when properly maintained, marble headstones can last just as well as other materials. 

What is the best way to clean a marble headstone?

The best way to clean a marble headstone is with gentle care to avoid damaging the stone.
