About Monroe Monuments | Morris County NJ
Our Story
Monroe Monuments has been part of the Morris County community for more than 80 years. What began as a family-operated monument business serving local families has grown into one of Northern New Jersey’s most trusted names in memorial craftsmanship — but the values that started it all remain exactly the same: honest pricing, genuine care, and work you can stand behind for generations.
A Local Business Built on Local Relationships
Over eight decades, Monroe Monuments has developed lasting relationships with the major cemeteries throughout Morris County and the surrounding Northern NJ counties. We know the staff, we understand the regulations, and we have experience installing at every major cemetery in the area — from Gate of Heaven in East Hanover to Laurel Grove in Totowa to Christ the King in Franklin Lakes and dozens more.
Those relationships matter. When a family is already navigating a difficult time, the last thing they need is confusion over cemetery requirements, permit delays, or installation problems. We remove all of that uncertainty. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with the cemetery, and manage every logistical detail from first conversation to finished installation.
Because we have done this for 80 years at the same cemeteries, approvals move faster, installs go smoothly, and families are not left wondering what comes next. That institutional knowledge is one of the things that separates Monroe Monuments from newer operations that are still learning which cemeteries require which permits.
Every Kind of Monument — Including the Completely Custom
Monroe Monuments offers every type of headstone and memorial in use today: single and companion uprights, flat grave markers, slant-style monuments, bench memorials, obelisk monuments, bronze plaques, granite markers, and fully custom hand-carved creations. That last category is something we are especially proud of.
Our workshop is local. When a family comes to us with a vision — an angel with specific features, an obelisk with custom carvings, a monument shaped around a personal symbol — we design it, fabricate it, and install it right here in New Jersey. No outsourcing to overseas production facilities. The artisans who create your memorial are the same people who show you samples in the showroom.
Our design process is built around one commitment: nothing goes into production until you approve a digital proof. You see exactly what the finished monument will look like before a single cut is made. Revisions are part of the process, not an extra charge.
Accessible and Affordably Priced
We believe everyone deserves a beautiful memorial regardless of budget. Our pricing is straightforward — no hidden fees, no pressure to upgrade to something more expensive than what you need. Flat markers start at prices that make quality accessible, and every monument at every price point receives the same attention to craftsmanship and installation care.
We are happy to walk you through options at different price points and help you find what honors your loved one without creating financial stress. That conversation is part of the service, not a preamble to a sales pitch.
If you are on a tighter budget and wondering whether we can work with you, the answer is almost always yes. Call us, come in, or send a message. We will be honest about what we can do.

Over 80 Years of NJ Experience
The memorial industry is one where trust and longevity matter. Families come to us because their parents came to us, or because a neighbor recommended us after a positive experience. That word-of-mouth reputation has been built one family at a time over 80 years, and we do not take it lightly.
Our team has seen every kind of memorial project — from the most straightforward flat marker to complex multi-crypt family mausoleums with custom granite and bronze construction. We bring that experience to every conversation, whether a family is spending $600 or $60,000.
