Four generations of the Marsh family. Two Michigan locations. Monuments that stand in cemeteries across Mid-Michigan.
From the first conversation to the final setting — the same family handles every part. Call our Durand or Burton location, or stop by to see real granite samples.
A monument is not a purchase. It is a promise that someone mattered — and we have been placing that promise in stone for four generations.
In the 1940s, the Marsh family opened a monument shop in Michigan, cutting granite by hand for families across Shiawassee County.
Four generations later, they have never left. A second location opened in Burton to serve Genesee County. Diamond-etching, sandblasting, portrait work — all done in-house, by the same family. The fourth generation still pulls every design proof and still drives to the cemetery the day a monument is set.
Read the full story ?From a simple flat marker to a custom shaped memorial — same family, same shop, same standard.
No catalog. No pressure. We show you real stone, draw you a proof to scale, and do not cut anything until you have approved every detail.
From design through foundation through installation — the Marsh family handles every step. We also do on-site final-date engravings and additions without disturbing the grave.
