Jeremy Guarantee

With a combined experience of 25+ years in the granite industry, we truly know what these stones mean to you. Quality is at the center of every monument that leaves our facility. Monuments of the South stands behind each stone with a 100% warranty against any defects.

Where will we go?

We are a central monument company inside the Ark-La-Tex, and proudly serve our region. Our typical delivery range is 120 miles of our radius and service Louisiana, East Texas, and South Arkansas. However, if you think you are outside of this mileage, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We will try to work with you any way we can.

What do you need to know?

We work alongside the funeral homes and cemeteries to make sure this is a smooth process for the families we work for. We stay up to date on cemetery guidelines, but it is always good to know if your cemetery has tombstone restrictions. Please do not feel like you must know exactly what you want or have all the precise information before coming in to see us. It is our job to take all the bits that can make this process overwhelming away.
