Classic Memorials
Hand-Crafted Granite Monuments Since 1993
A portrait hand-etched into granite, an inscription without a single careless line, a stone that will stand for centuries: Classic Memorials creates custom granite monuments for cemeteries in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. It is a four-generation family business in which the makers hand shows in every curve.
You can choose an upright monument, a flat marker, or a slant stone, and add bronze, a memorial bench, or delicate artwork on granite. For family plots and crypts, the company also handles mausoleum work, with an understanding of Jewish cemetery traditions.
The work does not end with installation: the workshop cleans and restores older monuments, bringing the inscriptions back to sharp clarity, and for those who prefer to plan ahead, it offers pre-need monument planning. Separate memorial stones are made for pets, and commercial clients can order stone signage.
From sketch to installation:
- Custom granite monuments: upright, flat, and slant
