Monument Company in Batavia, NY
High quality doesn’t have to mean a high price, and we built our whole business around that idea. We’re Oakley Monument Company, and we buy premium granite direct from the quarry in volume, then design, letter, and set it right here in Batavia.
Cemeteries We Coordinate With in Batavia
Batavia Cemetery, on Harvester Avenue just south of Main Street, is maintained by the Batavia Cemetery Association. If your family has a plot there, we handle the permit and foundation approval directly with the association, so nothing stalls once your design is finalized.
St. Joseph Cemetery and Mausoleum, also on Harvester Avenue, is connected to Resurrection Parish’s St. Joseph site. We confirm material and monument requirements directly with the parish before any design moves toward fabrication.
We also work with Elmwood Cemetery, Grand View Cemetery, and other cemeteries across Genesee County. If your family’s cemetery isn’t listed here, call us and we’ll confirm what’s required before you order.
Monument Options We Build in Batavia
A lot of families assume a custom monument means a steep price. We buy our granite directly from the quarry in volume, which keeps costs down without cutting corners on the stone itself or the craftsmanship that goes into it. Upright monuments, our most common request, come in granite and bronze combinations with optional porcelain photo additions. Slant and flat markers offer a smaller, more affordable footprint for families who want something simpler.
We also build memorial benches, columbarium niches for cremation, and mausoleums for families who want an above-ground resting place. Bronze plaques and lettering cover both new inscriptions and adding a name to an existing monument years later. Our in-house artist handles hand and laser etching directly on dark granite, portraits, farm scenes, or fully custom artwork from a photograph. And when an older monument has cracked, tilted, or faded, we repair and clean it using methods that protect the stone.
Granite Colors Available at Our Batavia Showroom
Some companies charge a premium just to see the better colors. We don’t. More than 90 named granite colors are on display in our showroom, from Academy Black to Bahama Blue to Dakota Mahogany, and every one of them is included in what we quote you.
Granite holds up against Genesee County’s freeze-thaw winters in a way marble doesn’t. Marble is more porous, wears faster in this climate, and loses fine lettering detail within a few decades. Granite stays legible and structurally sound for generations, which matters even more when you’re choosing something built to last.
Why Batavia Families Choose Us
We’re family-owned, and the person who answers your call is the same person who manages your order from start to finish. There’s no sales quota behind that conversation, and no pressure to decide before you’re ready.
Genesee County winters are hard on granite. Repeated freezing and thawing pushes against a monument’s foundation, and a foundation poured too shallow will let a stone tilt or separate within a few years. We build every foundation to account for that from the start, not as a repair after the fact.
We handle the cemetery paperwork directly, whether that’s Batavia Cemetery, St. Joseph’s, or another cemetery in the county, so you’re not the one making repeat calls to a cemetery office during an already hard week. And if you’re planning ahead rather than facing an immediate need, we can walk you through design and granite selection now, with everything documented so your family isn’t making those decisions later. Financing is available if spreading the cost helps.
What Batavia Families Want to Know
Buying direct from the quarry in volume brings the cost down on our end, not the quality on yours. The full 90-plus color library and the same craftsmanship standard apply no matter which stone you choose.
Call first for Sunday. Weekdays and Saturday morning, you’re welcome to walk in, but Sunday visits are appointment-only so someone is actually there to help you.
It’s built into the standard install, not an upcharge. We size every foundation to the monument and the ground conditions from the start, so it’s part of the base price, not something added later.
We still handle it. Call us with your specific cemetery and we’ll confirm what’s required before you order, whether it’s Elmwood, Grand View, or another cemetery in Genesee County.
Ask us when you call or visit and we’ll walk you through the current terms. It’s worth asking early, since knowing your monthly cost upfront makes the rest of the design process easier to plan around.
