We serve Belleville and a 150 km area, including Quinte West, Prince Edward County, Northumberland, Tweed, Madoc, Bancroft, Minden, and Haliburton.

Our Process: From Site Preparation to Final Placement

Step-by-Step Memorial Setting for Lasting Tribute

Setting a memorial involves much more than physical placement. Our process begins with a site assessment and precise stake-out using cemetery maps and family preferences. We prepare a stable foundation, usually a deep-set concrete footing, to ensure your monument stands level for generations. Our team then installs the memorial using non-ferrous metal spacers and specialized sealing putty to protect against shifting and weathering. Every detail, from corner posts to ledger stones and footstones, is handled with technical accuracy and respect for the site. For rural cemeteries or unique grave sites, we adapt our methods to local soil and terrain. We also coordinate the installation of columbariums, burial vaults, and benches, ensuring all elements work together for a harmonious memorial space. Our work is never rushed. We personally inspect every installation, provide guidance on cemetery rules, and remain available for future maintenance or updates.

Reassurance Through Every Stage of Memorial Setting

Supporting Families With Guidance and Long-Term Stewardship

We understand that setting a memorial can be an overwhelming experience, especially when emotions run high or information is hard to find. At Lons Memorials, we are committed to making the process straightforward and reassuring. Our staff offers clear explanations, takes the time to answer questions, and helps families make confident decisions at every step. We encourage families to involve all decision-makers, so everyone feels comfortable with the final result. After the memorial is set, we offer ongoing support for cleaning, final date inscriptions, and restoration should the need arise. Our promise is that every memorial we set stands as a lasting tribute, installed with the same care and attention we would give our own family. For over 70 years, families in Belleville and Eastern Ontario have trusted us to represent their memories with dignity, precision, and honest service.
