Hi there. There are several different types of mosses and given the right environment (plenty of moisture and clean air), any of them will grow on gravestones. By using a gravestone cleaning spray that is appropriate for cleaning plasterwork and masonry, you can actually clean the moss, mould, dirt and bird droppings off of a marble or granite gravestone without destroying the stone or inscriptions.
