"Cleaning the graves of strangers is the latest content trend taking over
TikTok. But as millions tune in to watch the videos, it’s becoming clear not
all of them are created equal. Two grave-cleaning creators in particular seem
to reside at opposite ends of the trend.
One of the first accounts to gain popularity for grave cleaning was
@ladytaphos. This account is run by Alicia Williams, a Virginia resident who
treats the graves with great dignity. Williams will often share the story of
the person residing within, and acts with grace and kindness as she restores
beauty to the graves.
On the other end of the spectrum is Kaeli Mae McEwen, or @the_clean_girl, who
leans into more clickbait-y tactics. McEwen is known for throwing a pink spiky
ball through a graveyard and cleaning the grave it lands on. She also uses her
videos to promote her own pink foamy cleaner (which at one point could be
purchased via a link in her bio)."
