How Do I Order a Monument?

While we can take some orders over the phone, we recommend a personal consultation at our store.

What Does a Memorial Cost?

The size, material, finish, lettering and cemetery fee are the key factors that determine the cost.

What Is A Cemetery Concierge?

How Long Do Designs Take?

The process of designing markers and monuments varies between 1 and 6 months.

May I Pick Out My Own Stone?

May I Choose Any Color Stone?

The quarries we use provide us with many rich colors of granite stones for your selection.

Do I Need To Pay A Deposit?

We normally ask for a small good faith deposit and then get started designing your monument.

Can I Get A Scale Drawing?

Yes, prior to final engraving, we will provide you with a scale drawing for your approval.

What Are Etched Portraits?

You can personalize your memories with a hand etched portrait of your loved one.

May I Contact Jim Milano?

Absolutely. Jim Milano is more than happy to take your call or answer your email.

Are Flat or Upright Better?

Upright monuments offer more design and engraving options than flat markers.

Inspirations inscribed on a memorial serve as an everlasting tribute to a departed loved one. Often a familiar biblical verse or classical quotation is an ideal way to preserve an enduring memory.

In this section, Milano Monuments has suggested Inspirations taken from the Bible and others that can become personalized tributes of caring and love.
       
 

For a Father, Husband, Son, Brother

He lives with us in memory and will for evermore. 

His friendship was an inspiration, his love a blessing. 

He was beloved in life. 

He loved his fellowman. 

A loving father, tender and kind, what a beautiful memory you left behind. 

Resting with those he loved. 

His greatest joy was in making others happy. 

His joy was in serving others. 

God took him home, it was his will, but in our hearts he liveth still. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember him. 

O, Lord I put him in thy hands. 

His mission on earth fulfilled. 

No man is indispensable but some are irreplaceable. 

His friends were his world. 

A man greatly beloved. 

To those who knew and loved him, his memory will never grow old. 

He had a kindly word for each and died beloved by all. 

My pal on earth, God's angel in heaven. 

Fond memories linger every day, remembrance keeps him near. 

The world's loss was heaven's gain when God took you home. 

A man greatly beloved. 

To live with him and sing in endless morn of light! 

His life was gentle, and the elements so mix'd in him, that nature might stand up and say to all the world, "This was a man!" 

On him and on his high endeavor the light of praise shall shine forever. 

We loved him a lot but God loved him more. 

To know him was to love him. 

He loved people and laughter.
