No one wants to buy a headstone for someone they love. It makes their death so final. It is however something that must be done out of love and respect. I put off doing this for as long as I could. When I finally decided to do it, it was very important to me to find the best place possible. I needed to find a monument company that would be totally reliable, reasonably priced, deliver on time, treat me with kindness and great sensitivity and provide the highest quality craftsmanship. I found all this and more at Hollander Monuments on East 17th Street in Brooklyn. From the moment I entered Hollander, I was treated with the greatest compassion and gently walked through every step. Because I waited so long to start the process and already had a date picked out for the unveiling, I gave them an impossible timetable. They however, worked with the cemetery and I was able to have the unveiling on time. Everyone at the ceremony commented how perfectly lovely the stone was and it was beautifully done. I will be going back within the next few weeks to pre-plan a headstone for me and my husband to take the burden off our family when we pass. I give them five stars only because I cannot give them a thousand stars.

Just to let you know that we had the unveiling of the monument for J.A. and we are very pleased with the monument. It is exactly as we wanted it. They handled an emotional matter with patience and honesty and also in a timely manner.
