Would you like to duplicate a family members monument or design? We can do that. By taking a rubbing and/or photos of the monument we can copy the text, florals or other images to match Mom's monument for dad or one just like grandma's.

Most of the granite seen in local cemeteries is quarried in Elberton Georgia. Here is an interesting little bit of history from where that stone comes from.

On August 14, 1900, cloaked in darkness, a group of Elberton citizens toppled the town’s Civil War monument. The next day, they buried it. These were not anti–Confederate activists.

Granite is like wood and absorbs oils, residue and rust and is hard to remove. Please take care in choosing to add floral arrangements or contact us for other floral solutions.

Just to be clear. We will not install monuments purchased over the internet. The same way a restaurant will not cook a steak you bring in from Walmart.

You may think you found a fantastic deal online, but those companies don't service the installation, foundation or anything after they drop ship it to you. For best service please contact us directly. We can quote, install and service the order all the way from picking it out to installation and beyond.

We are a full service monument company, not an internet store front, not a funeral home dabbling in monuments on the side, or selling monuments from our house.

We are the only full service, locally owned and operated monument company in Tangipahoa Parish.

We are really happy with this custom deer shaped monument for the Schexnayder family. A little extra makes this monument stand out.
