What to look for in a Monument Retailer/Builder

  • A stable and honest business reputation, with a full-time commitment to designing, producing and selling memorials. You want a firm that was in business yesterday and will be in business tomorrow.

  • An attractive display where you may view a selection of memorials in different sizes, colors, materials, and styles.

  • The ability to listen...to counsel...to help you create a memorial that is artistically designed and personalized.

  • Knowledge of your cemetery's rules and regulations governing types and sizes of memorials.
