    I was looking for a nice monument for my late husband and Monument Direct caught my eye by good reviews. Sean guided me every step of the way, the price was reasonable, and Sean stayed true to his word, despite Covid time. The head stone looks great, my family and I are very happy. I'd like to express gratitude to Monument Direct and Sean for the excellent service-THANK YOU!

    I am really glad one of my coworkers recommended Monument Direct for gravestone purchase.It is a big purchase where you spend a lot of money so research and price weigh in a lot. Prior to contacting them I have contacted 2 places in Kitchener and their price was higher. Sean is a very smart person and down to earth and also very patient. He listens and recommends what he thinks might or might not work for you. He works well with cemetery staff when dealing with sizing, concrete pour bases etc.  He also saved me a ton of money. I will definitely recommend him and the company because when the stone arrived and was mounted it looked amazing and we are very happy. They give you good prices and they are super busy so when ordering, plan to also be patient as you will get what you are looking for but don't be unrealistic and expect it done tomorrow.Thank You Sean

    I normally don't write reviews. However, I feel compelled to share the experience our family received from Monument Direct to help others. After our 2-year-old daughter unexpectedly passed away, the planning process was incredibly difficult. The pain and sadness was unbearable. My wife and I visited a few places and were overwhelmed. We were referred by someone to Sean at Monument Direct in Richmond Hill. After meeting Sean for the first time, we knew it would be the place. Sean was very knowledgeable, understanding, patient and kind. We never felt rushed. He genuinely cares about his customers. We knew Sean would take care of us. His price is unmatchable, the quality of the work (after seeing the monument erected) is exceptional. From the design, to the final steps of installation. Cemetaries have strict specifications for the size of gravestone/tombstone/marker/monument allowed. Sean's knowledge to calculate the size according to cemetery specifications is remarkable. He is quick and accurate. I highly recommend anyone requiring this type of service to him. Sean told me his goal is to exceed customer's expectations and he did just that. He and his team will deliver! If you're looking for a place with great price, outstanding product and service, this place is it. They deserve much credit. You will not be disappointed with this place because they are the complete package. Our family is grateful we went with Monument Direct. Thank you Sean and to your team for everything! Tom

    I came to Monument Direct after contacting numerous other monument dealers and after speaking with Sean I knew that Monument Direct was my best option in terms of both quality and pricing. However, I came to Monument Direct with a very unique design and with an incomplete set of drawings and I was very nervous that the monument may turn out quite different from what I had in mind. But the way Sean addressed all of my concerns and requests made me feel confident and in control from the beginning to the end. After submitting the drawings I was allowed to change the orientation of the monument free of charge. Furthermore, a clay model of the main sculpture was created free of charge and pictures were sent for my review. I had the chance to provide feedback and the clay model was adjusted accordingly and new photos were sent for my approval. I was constantly and accurately updated on the status of the building and shipment. Once the monument arrived I was allowed to inspect it as many times I needed. I saw it before engraving and after and I was able to check that the engraving stencil followed exactly my font specifications. I was notified about the installation date and time and I was allowed to assist. The monument turned out better than I ever hoped. It is very expressive and it's top quality and the price was well below any other offer I received. I definitely recommend Monument Direct as the best monument dealer in Ontario.

    My family had a very good professional experience with Monument Direct, especially Sean who took our needs into the design of our mother’s headstone. Sean took a great care to match the headstone of Our father who died 20 year ago. Our family is very much appreciated for the services. Thank You Sean.

    Monument Direct, Sean, is very professional, empathetic and you get exactly what you are looking for a monument headstone. We dealt with Sean and our monument headstone was unique and complicated. When we were asking for quotes, we got quotes from other suppliers except Sean. Sean explained as to why it couldn’t be done and for what we wanted what was needed. Once that was cleared, we had several reiterations to get the quote. He was patent, provided insights and worked with us. We had several email exchanges and he was quick to respond. Other suppliers didn’t take the time to respond to calls and/or emails. Somethings to note, when you google ‘monument’ or headstone’, suppliers with similar name pop up. This is Monument Direct’, located in Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada. Also, to get a good quote, if your monument is a unique one, make sure you show pictures, from the selection of the colour of the stone to the font of the writing on the headstone on emails until you are sure that he has understood. Even after we picked an Angel monument from their website, the face of the Angel was similar to one on another website. Sean worked with us and the factory tirelessly to make sure we were happy with it or gave us the option of not proceeding with the full refund of our deposit. In our time of despair, Sean demonstrated honesty, kindness, empathy and guaranteed satisfaction. What he quoted never changed. Bravo Sean and Monument Direct, keep it up!

    The experience with Sean at Monument Direct has been exceptional. He takes the time to discuss your needs. The experience has been very smooth from selecting the stone to designing and installing the monument. He's very transparent about the entire process and we felt very at ease due to the level of professionalism and the compassion he expresses to our family. I would highly recommend his service.

    Words honestly cannot describe how thankful I am to Sean. We lost our father to covid this year and have had a though time getting through it. Sean really made our families vision come through with this monument and was very kind and compassionate through this experience. At our consultation he sat with us and really payed attention to what was important to us and helped guide us into designing this piece. Despite delays with covid, Sean was always kind and understanding if I called with any questions and never made us feel unwelcome. Thank you once again for this beautiful piece and for making a very hard time in our lives a little bit easier.

    Sean was consistently patient, starting from the design of my father's monument, helping with the selection of marble materials, all the way to completion and installation. Although the passing of my father brought us great sorrow, Sean's assistance allowed us to have a perfect and elegant monument for my father, providing us with comfort. Thank you very much, Sean!

  • 5/5 Jean-Pierre T. 1 year ago on Google
    It was my first time shopping for an unusual item as a gravestone. I was appalled at the exorbitant price that the cemetery quoted me and it was really ridiculous. Frustrated, I then came across Monument Direct while searching the web. At first, I was skeptical about placing an order (per my personal specifications) online. But after a few email exchanges and talking to Sean over the phone, my doubts dissipated. I felt I could trust this company without getting fleeced. In fact, the price was so reasonable and very affordable. He answered to all my questions with honesty that put me at ease. I also met with him and toured his showroom. The order of the monument took a bit longer than expected owing to Covid restrictions at the time. But Sean’s dedication, knowledge ability and craftsmanship compensated for that delay. He provided advice whenever I called in during the entire planning process up to the installation. And I was fully satisfied and amazed with the finished product. I would without a doubt recommend any relatives or friends to use Monument Direct services in the future.

    After searching different websites looking for a grave stone for our beloved father, we finally contacted Sean from the Monument Direct , and we had a very good experience from the beginning. He was professional, with great customer service, accommodating our short timeline and design with engraving in both English and Farsi. he took care of the paperwork and arrangements with the cemetery as well. We definitely recommend Sean from Monument Direct.

    Thank you very much to Monument Direct in general and especially to Sean for his attention to my late husband's headstone. We discussed a design we had worked on and Sean saw to it that it was carried out to a T. We are very happy with the results. I recommend Monument Direct.

    Sean guided us through this really tough time with his professionalism, kindness and compassion. We had a rough idea of what we wanted to do, and Sean helped make it a reality and was patient with our various requests and revisions. He helped us create a monument just how we wanted it. He really knows what he is doing and he delivers on what he says. We cannot thanks Sean enough for all of the help he has provided in these tough times.

    This place is probably one of the best options if your looking for a monument for a loved one. Even though it was a global pandemic, they came through and made a beautiful headstone for my father and mother. We're very happy with the result and at a very reasonable price. Funeral homes and similar businesses will take advantage of the "rush" that is put on you especially with a sudden passing, but this company is extraordinary. It's a value price for premium quality.

    First of all, let us say thank you Sean and his staff for making and installing the gravestone to my mom. He gave us a reasonable cost for this monument during the Convid -19. My family and I came to cemetery yesterday and also I took a picture(gravestone) and did an Email 📧 to both brothers. They said that Sean made it very beautiful and nice design. We are very satisfactory for his work. Many thanks. 🙏 Vera

    Sean and Monument Direct did a very good job at a very good price. They were very patient with my endless edits, and never complained when I kept changing things. While it took a little longer than expected, it was worth it in the end with a beautiful monument.

    We had very nice experience with Monument Direct not only for the good quality of the product but also the professional and customized service. You can always have your own input to the design of the monument. If you don't have much ideas about the design, they will guide you and work together with you patiently. Last but not least, the price is very reasonable.

    Sean was professional, patient and knowledgeable. He made the process very smooth and easy. Sean provided excellent advice for me and my wife, Judy. The time line, his coordination with the cemetery and the delivery was outstanding. We absolutely recommend Monument Direct and Sean!

  • 5/5 Clara P. 2 years ago on Google
    This was my first time doing business with Monument Direct and Sean did an excellent job. He was almost the only person that I had communicated with during the pandemic (except the very nice lady who showed me the warehouse on my first visit to the office) for professional advice and for our family’s monument needs. He always gave me prompt answers to my questions (mostly via emails) and kept me posted on works in progress until the whole process was completed. The monument was beautiful and elegant, my family was fully satisfied with his services and the price was very reasonable (those cemetery quotes were ridiculously high). I deeply appreciated Sean’s patience and kind assistance during our difficult time particularly this was my very first time dealing with the passing of an immediate family member. Thanks Sean, Clara

    I highly recommend Monument Direct. Sean was always responsive in answering questions via email and very patient in developing a mock-up of the monument that was created for my Mom. He also took the opportunity to show us samples of monuments in development that aided in a final decision. The monument was completed and installed ahead of schedule and looks great. There are a lot of options out there but I think you will be hard pressed to find a better company than Monument Direct.

    Sean and the Monument Direct team were a comforting resource during the difficult time of my husband's passing. He helped us realize our designs with patience and professionalism. I had multiple monuments made at the same time for our family members. Sean was able to deliver an unique and beautiful tribute for each couple without compromising quality or timely completion. He was able to have my husband's monument installed in time for his first birthday in heaven. We really appreciate Sean's thoughtful service and would highly recommend Monument Direct.

    Sean is very good at what he does. We live over an hour away from his studio but worked well with him on our Dad's headstone and we are very pleased with the outcome. He did exactly what he said he would and it turned out just as we wanted it to. His help and professionalism at a very difficult time was appreciated so very much. We will absolutely recommend him to everyone we know!
