👍👍 At a difficult time during the loss of my mother, St. Charles Monuments made things so much easier. Their prompt and professional service was well appreciated in adding my mom’s engraving to our tombstone. From start to finish, they were a pleasure to work with. The tombstone looks beautiful.

    Very compassionate and professional service. Staff is informative, communicative and accommodates requests. I received text updates and blueprints before the head stone was completed and was able to approve either by person or via email. Nice to do business with regarding a difficult loss of a loved one.

    I am writing this review as a follow up to the service received from Marcus, Karen, and everyone at St. Charles Monuments. I simply cannot say enough good things about how perfectly they respected, understood, and cared about, my Mom, myself, our family, and completing my Dad's memorial. I recommend St. Charles Memorials as strongly as I can, with absolutely no reservations. Without going into personal specifics, let me state that I have reasons and proof that St. Charles Monuments truly cares, and will do the right thing without hesitation. Let's face it, needing the services of a memorial maker means you have suffered a loss. Taking care of business like this is necessary of course, but not something anyone looks forward to. In fact, it can be one of many stressful tasks that must be handled upon the passing of a loved one. My intent with this review is to say that you can let go of that stress, and trust St. Charles Monuments to not only walk you through the process, but know that they will continue to support you even after the memorial is set.

    I had a great experience with St. Charles Monuments for adding an inscription on an existing stone. They were caring and so very easy to communicate with. I was able to do everything I needed without going their office. I highly recommend them, their price was fair and they made this whole process so easy.

    Everyone at St. Charles is great ! They made this process happen quickly. My Father’s name was engraved so much faster than it was anticipated. They are informed and very professional. I will go back to them again when I’m ready to purchase the headstone for my grave . I highly recommend them ! They’re that good !

    We can’t thank Marcus and the staff at St. Charles Monuments enough for the fabulous stone they designed for our sister. Honestly, it was so much harder than I ever imagined. The monument is just beautiful, and their guidance and patience will forever be appreciated. With sincere gratitude, The Langan Family

    Courteous and patient professionals helped me with two different grave stones, a sibling and my maternal grandmother. Could not have been helped better than the St. Charles Monuments team. My thanks, again!

    After waiting almost 2 years to have my mom's headstone engraved, I went to St. Charles Monument to begin the process. I was told it could possibly take up to 16 weeks to get approval from cemetery and then for them to do the actual engraving. The process moved much quicker. Once the monument company received approval from cemetery, I was told it would take 3-6 weeks. I mentioned that my 5 siblings and 5 grandchildren were planning on going to cemetery on my mom's 2nd anniversary and would love it if the engraving would be done when we all got there. The monument company told me they would mention this to the engraver. 1 week later, I received notice that the engraving has been completed! I'm beyond grateful and can't wait for my family's reaction when we all go in a few weeks to honor our mom/ grandmother. St. Charles Monument company is simply the best!

    St. Charles was very helpful from beginning to end. They were detailed with explaining the steps from start to finish and gave us a couple of options as well in how to go about what we were looking for. Really satisfied with how our monument turned out in the end. Thanks guys again and would recommend for sure.

    The person who helped me was very kind and compassionate. She was also very knowledgeable. I had questions which she answered very patiently. It was difficult for me, but she made it easier. We share a love of dogs and we talked about our dogs. She did not rush me along. I left with a folder containing the copies I would need. I plan to do back there to purchase a stone for another grave. Also, they kept me advised of how the process was proceeding with text messages. They made a difficult process less painful.

    I had St. Charles Monuments preform an inscription and a tombstone cleaning and was more than happy with the work performed. They kept me informed throughout the process with pictures and updates. The professionalism from the whole company was amazing. There were no hidden costs that surprised me, everything explained upfront. I would use them again and thank them for the help during a very difficult time.

  • 1/5 Paul H. 1 year ago on Google
    Avoid at all costs — like others, I was strung along for months on end with no updates, limited responses and just a general lack of follow up unless I intimated a request for an update. Just a total run around during a stressful time. When I escalated the lack of follow-up and contact with the owner Marcus his response was appalling — he was yelling and screaming that if I didn’t like the communication I was receiving I could go elsewhere, I was shocked to hear a business owner respond with this tone and aggression. He went on to flat out refuse to do the job out of spite and anger, stating since I didn’t like the communication I was receiving I could go ahead and start the whole process over with someone else (which was in violation of the contract we signed since the job had now spanned over 6 months). It then took 3 weeks and another follow up from me with Marcus to get the deposit back and we had to start the process over again while our headstone sat blank for months on end thanks entirely to the incompetency and arrogance of Marcus and St. Charles Monuments. What a nightmare. We ended up utilizing another memorial company and the process could not have been better. When I told them what was going on for the past several months and now changing of a vendor from St Charles both the new memorial company and the cemetery representatives separately nearly finished for me , “let me guess, Marcus bullied you over the phone and lost his temper refusing to do the work”. I couldn’t believe that my experience was common enough for others to fill in the details before I even shared, they were not surprised to learn of the ordeal. Buyer beware, this ordeal dragged out our families grieving period and no one deserves to be treated this way. Marcus and St Charles have a warped sense of business and ethics and I wish I would have done my research before contracting them.

    St. Charles Monuments gave my family and I a warm and understanding experience in helping us choose a headstone. Their work was expedient and very professional. I am glad I chose them and I will no other.

    A friend referred me to St. Charles Monument for my fathers headstone and I’m thankful they did. Marcus and Julia were so kind and welcoming when I arrived. They had a big variety of options to choose from (size, style, stone, color, etc) which allowed me to really be able to customize and give my father the perfect stone. Thank you so much for all your help during this difficult time and if anybody is looking for a monument place, do yourself a favor and go here! You won’t be disappointed, they are great!

    St. Charles Momuments treated me like family. They sat down with me and showed me all of their headstone products. They were patient, knowledgeable of their products, and and very professional. They gave great advice and insight on details. They cared about my vision and designed my mother's headstone to be nothing less than what I wished for. They even suggested adding their own personal touches/finishes. Although we never want to experience death, we must all go through it one day. Definitely head over to St. Charles for a worry free experience in finalizing your arrangements. You will not be disappointed. Thank you St. Charles Monuments, you are the best.

    I cannot say thank you enough to Marcus and to his staff. He was always helpful and available when I had any questions or concerns. The work that they did for my beloved father’s headstone came out beautifully. St. Charles Monuments exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone. To Marcus and the entire staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    St.Charles Monuments have been a blessing for my family & I during the difficult times. Not only are they professional but also compassionate. My siblings live out of the State & I live upstate - whenever we needed something IE: Headstone cleaning or Floral Arrangements- they dedicated their professionalism & compassion towards our needs & wants. They went out of their way to try to locate a NYPD flag to put down at resting place & continue to search. During their search they did put a Police Thin Blue Line Flag for Us at no cost. They cleaned the headstone, delivered the floral arrangements & provided us with a photo upon cleaning & delivery. This is a business that My family will depend upon for many years to come. Very easy to communicate with & do business with unlike some of the Florist & Monument Dealers that I called in Melville . Affordable , Professional, Compassionate & Pleasant. Thank You St. Charles Monuments.

    Preparing final resting place for a loved one is never an easy task. The staff at St Charles Monument made it easy and painless for me. Even as I was out of the country, they send me of the stone from the cemetery at my request. I can’t recommend them enough. Rose L

    The staff provided many options to memoralize my parents. I live in another state and will not have the opportunity to visit their gravesite; however, I wanted their marker to bless others who happen to walk past it.

  • 5/5 Lucy O. 2 years ago on Google
    My father’s memorial was just perfect. Marcus was extremely kind and wonderful to work with. He was able to arrange for the monument to be installed in time for the one year anniversary of my father’s passing, and that meant the world to my family and me. I am beyond appreciative.

    I highly recommend St. Charles Monuments. I am very pleased with the great customer service and final product. Marcus was very patient and understanding of our needs during the process of selecting my mother’s headstone and design work. They kept us posted every step of the way and produced quality work. The monument is beautiful and is exactly what we expected. Thank you to St. Charles Monuments!

    Marcus was very helpful and patient assisting us with our monument needs. This was of course at a time of grief and stress, during the pandemic and from a different state. I sincerely appreciate the care and professionalism we experienced with St. Charles Monuments.

  • 5/5 Maryanne K. 2 years ago on Google
    At our time of sorrow, it was a pleasure to deal with St Charles Monuments. The staff was very helpful as this was the first time myself and my sister had to deal with this experience for my aunts new monument. We always felt safe entering the storefront during this Covid time. Marcus was the most professional personal helping us through this hard time in our lives. Thank you to all.

    My family had a great experience with St. Charles Monuments. We were kept informed at every step of the process, and given drawings of the stone before giving our approval. We have used them before, and will continue to do business with them in the future.
