Every life has its own unique story to tell. For four generations, Rome Monument has been dedicated to creating personalized cemetery, cremation and community/civic memorials that depict everyone’s individual story for generations to come.

Rome Monument takes pride in being able to help large communities, small families and everyone in between. A lot of that compassion may come from being family owned-and-operated since 1934.

Their honesty, integrity and dedication in all aspects has helped them become one of the largest monument dealers in the United States and the only Rock of Ages dealer in Western Pennsylvania, allowing them to sell memorials that are protected by a perpetual trust company and lifetime warranty.

The company started in Beaver County and began expansion into Allegheny County. It also is beginning more expansion north of those.

In total, Rome Monument has eight locations including a showroom in Zelienople and a showroom in Butler, which will be opening February 2016.

All of these showrooms have memorials on site, so you won’t have to choose from a brochure or online.

Still located in Monaca, Beaver County, is their production facility where they have skilled artisans who create these personalized memorials.

No matter how large or small the project may seem, Rome Monument understands the importance of having a quality product and experience in this most lasting decision. Along with being the most lasting decision, it may also be one of your most difficult decisions if it involves you recently losing a loved one.

Most people do not realize this decision does not need to be made right away. How a cherished life should be remembered takes careful thought and reflection.

This process can alleviate grief for some people, but it may cause stress for others. This possible stress can be relieved by pre-planning your memorial purchase.

People understand the wisdom and importance of planning ahead, such as taking out insurance policies, creating a savings, etc.

Well, your memorial purchase is no different.

Following are a few reasons why purchasing your memorial before time of need is a good idea.

Purchasing your memorial ahead of time will leave you with peace of mind that it is completed how you would want it. Your heirs won’t be left guessing at an emotional time.

When those grieving emotions are a factor, it can cause people to overlook details that would have been important to you or cause them to overspend.

Financial struggles could happen at any time and preplanning your memorial ensures that the process will be completed no matter what the future brings, including possible inflation costs. On the other hand, if you’re worried about the financials now, most memorial companies, including Rome Monument, will allow payment plans for memorials that are purchased preneed.

Believe it or not, when you design your preneed memorial, it can be an interesting and pleasurable experience with all the possibilities that are able to be created now.

Purchasing a memorial is not about a life past. Purchasing a memorial is about the celebration and honor to those who have touched our lives in a special way.

Leave a little piece of your legacy behind by creating your story in stone.
