A Guided Journey from Design to Setting
We know this can feel overwhelming. Our team walks alongside you at every stage, from the first conversation to the final installation at the cemetery.
Your Initial Consultation
Meet with one of our experienced designers at any of our four WNY showrooms, or by phone. No appointment needed. No sales pressure. We listen and advise honestly.
Custom Design & Review
Our in-house design team creates a detailed CAD drawing of your memorial. We revise until you're completely satisfied. No extra charge, no stone cut until you approve.
Cemetery Coordination
We handle all regulations, permit requirements, and foundation specifications directly with the cemetery. You don't need to manage any of that. We do it for you.
Handcrafted & Installed
Your memorial is crafted entirely in-house, hand-carved, etched, and finished to exact specification. We then deliver and install it with the same care given to every step before.
What Families Are Saying
"Jill was such a help with me deciding on a headstone for preplanning my burial arrangements. Very detailed and thorough. I cannot say enough good about my dealings with Hart Monument Co. She is so pleasant to deal with. They are the best!"
"I live out of state and was bringing my husband home to be laid to rest. Suzanna went above and beyond to help me get this beautiful headstone for my husband."
"Jill helped me with such kindness and patience. I am only in the beginning of the process, but I don't think I'll be the least bit disappointed when all is said and done. Truly wonderful service."
"Recently I found myself in the sad position of needing a gravestone for my wife and myself. It took several drawings to get it just right and they did. The staff was extremely caring and helpful. Their work is first class."
"Excellent customer service, no high pressure sales pitch, affordable."
"They treat their customers with care during these tough times."

Answers to What Families Ask Most
How long does it take to get a monument?
Most monuments take 8 to 12 weeks from an approved design to cemetery installation, covering design, crafting, and coordination. Rush timelines may be available. Ask at your first consultation.
Do I need an appointment?
No appointment needed. All four showrooms are open Monday through Friday and Saturday mornings. Walk in when you're ready. There is never any pressure to buy.
How much does a custom monument cost?
Pricing varies based on granite type, size, and design. We work with all budgets and flexible financing is available. We'll provide a detailed quote at no cost, with no deposit until you approve the design.
Do you handle everything with the cemetery?
Yes. We act as your direct liaison with the cemetery, handling all permits, regulations, foundation specs, and installation scheduling. You manage nothing. We do it all for you.
Can I plan a memorial in advance?
Absolutely. Many families plan ahead to select exactly what they want, reduce stress for loved ones, and ensure their wishes are on record. Pre-need planning is available at all four WNY showrooms.
