Family-owned in Ada, Oklahoma & Wylie, Texas · Since 1936
Design-build memorials, start to finish.
You Set the Price. We Build to It.
Choose the headstone package and price you're comfortable with. That number is the most you'll pay — our artists design your memorial to it, changes included, and we set it at the cemetery. If the design comes in under, you pay less.

How our pricing works
You Set the Price
Every package has a real price, shown up front. Choose the one you're comfortable with, and that number becomes the most you'll pay. Then we design the stone together.
The price you choose is the most you'll pay.
Pick a package and we design your memorial to that number. If the finished design costs less, you pay less — never more.
$250 to start, and it's yours back until you approve the drawing.
The $250 holds your price and starts the design session. It's part of your first payment, not a fee on top. Change your mind before you approve the drawing and we refund it.
Find a better deal before we install, and we'll match it.
Bring us a written quote for the same monument from anyone else, any time before installation, and we'll match it.
Our owner brought this from commercial construction, where a capped price is called a not-to-exceed contract. We just call it fair.
Single Flat Marker
The most you'll pay, installed. Often less after design.
Single Upright
The most you'll pay, installed. Often less after design.
Companion Upright
The most you'll pay, installed. Often less after design.
Two things sit outside the package price, and we tell you both before you pay us anything: your cemetery's own permit or setting fee, if it charges one, and a flat $200 travel fee for cemeteries more than 75 miles from Ada or Wylie (Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Lawton, Wichita Falls and the like).

Our Process
We Plan with Precision
One team. Design to setting.
Ada, Oklahoma and Wylie, Texas, since 1936. The same team draws the proof, builds the stone, and sets it. Read each step from the design proof to the day we set the stone.
Design
One point of contact stays with your family from the first conversation through setting. Our designer works from your stories, photographs, and the cemetery's rules, then prepares a design proof — dimensions, lettering, layout, and granite color. Nothing is cut until you approve it.
Manufacture
After you approve the proof, that drawing is what the shop builds. Granite is shaped, finished, and lettered in our Ada workshop. Standard shapes and fully custom shapes take the same route. The proof you approved is the scope of the work.
Installation
Our own crews set the monument after a cemetery site check: the plot, the boundaries, and the cemetery's written rules. Before they leave, they walk the punch list — level, plumb, sections bonded, the right plot, and the ground cleaned. Some cemeteries require their own setter. We confirm that before we schedule.
Plan Ahead & Create the Vision
Many couples and families come to us before the event to help create the vision of their loved one's Grave Marker and Headstone and, ultimately, their lasting legacy. Our team specializes in listening, understanding, and providing recommendations based on your unique needs. Our valued employees understand this is the last thing you do for your loved one; we want to guide you through this process in the manner that suits you.
