You may have seen many websites offering cemetery memorials. Most of these sites make no mention of the company’s physical location, and likely have no knowledge about your specific cemetery. How the monument will be delivered and installed at the cemetery lot are left for you to coordinate possibly incurring hidden costs.  At 180 to 200 pounds a cubic foot, granite monuments should be installed by qualified individuals to assure proper, safe, and damage free installation. Also, what is your recourse if a memorial arrives from a distant company damaged or incorrect? Was the damage done by the trucking company? Was it done by someone you paid to install it?  Will the company who sold it to you take responsibility to make things right?

What  makes Patten Monument Company unique, is that we are the only company based in Michigan with a routine delivery schedule to the entire state. We are completely responsible and accountable to you until the job is done! We are familiar with the majority of the cemeteries in Michigan, no matter how small. This knowledge allows us not only to deliver and install your monument for you, but also to assist you in adhering to your cemetery's regulations.  We also determine what your cemetery’s fee for installation is (when required by the cemetery), or what the cost for a concrete foundation would be.
