Many other monument retailers and cemeteries out-source the most important part of the process-the actual carving of the memorial. They never see the granite being used and have no quality control. Here at Iowa Memorial Granite Company, we design and manufacture our grave markers right on the premises, assuring the highest levels of quality and customer service. We have hundreds of designs to choose from or our talented staff members can assist you should you have a special design in mind.

We are the leading supplier of private family mausoleums in southwest region of Iowa. Benches and special monuments for cremains are also increasingly popular ways of memorializing a loved one.
