Whether you require a new headstone, wish to match existing cemetery markers, or need guidance on local cemetery requirements, we provide clear, honest advice. Our process is straightforward, and our indoor showroom is located directly across from the Belleville Cemetery, making it easy for families from Quinte, Northumberland, and Haliburton to view examples and discuss options in person. At Lons, creating a custom monument is never rushed. We encourage families to take the time they need, knowing that each decision will be supported by our experienced staff every step of the way.

Our Custom Monument Process and Features

From Granite Selection to Installation: How We Create Lasting Tributes

The process of creating a custom monument at Lons Memorials begins with listening. We invite families to our Belleville showroom, where you can view samples of upright, flat, pillow, and bench-style memorials, as well as select from 12 granite colors sourced globally, including Canada, India, and Africa. Our staff explains the benefits of monument-grade granite, which is selected for its durability and natural beauty. Designs are carefully planned to meet both personal wishes and cemetery guidelines. Our skilled engravers use sandblast stenciling at precise pressures to achieve crisp, lasting inscriptions, and we match existing fonts for added dates or restorations. Installation is performed by our own team, using non-ferrous metal spacers and proper footings to guarantee structural integrity. We also offer accessories such as custom silk flower saddles, granite vases, and photo discs, all crafted or sourced in-house. After installation, we remain available for headstone cleaning, leveling, and repairs—including restoration of vandalized or weathered monuments—so families always have a local partner they can rely on.
