About Joy
Monument Co.

After becoming discontent with corporate America’s mass marketing ideology of restricting monument designs to maximize profits, Joy Monument was founded in 2006 as a way to preserve the artistic values in memorial art.Today, Joy Monument is recognized as one of the best monument design firms in the country by the American Institute of Commemorative Art (AICA).

When designing and crafting a memorial, our artists put the essence of your loved one’s life first. We want to instill who they were, how they lived their life, and how they made others feel directly into the memorial. Every person is unique, and so should be every monument. Each monument we design is carefully customized to reflect the person’s personality, and no small detail is ever overlooked.

Unlike our competitors, when you come in for a meeting at Joy Monument Company, you're meeting with artists.

At Joy Monument, our goals are simple. We want to provide our clients with the finest crafted, longest lasting and most beautiful memorial available, and to ensure the memorial will be a perfect reflection of the life it represents.

What does Joy Monument Company do?

At Joy Monument, our main service is to design and build artistic and long-lasting private memorials for the families of those who have passed. While private memorials are our focus, we are also happy to work with committees to help design and create public memorials representing one or more people, places, or special events.

Why would I buy a memorial in advance?

Pre-planning gives you the option of purchasing and placing your memorial in advance. Over 30% of our clients choose to pre-plan their memorials, allowing them to pick the monument design and style, as well as the location of their final resting place. There are many reasons to pre-plan a memorial, but the best is perhaps that it allows a family to make decisions together without the added stress of a loved one’s death. By pre-planning, a family can take their time in making the decisions and ensure everything is just right.

How much does a monument cost?

The cost of your memorial will vary, based on several things including quality of material, the color you select, the size and shape and several other items. What is important to understand is that we will work within your budget to help you design and build a quality memorial for your loved one.
