HISTORY
We are a third generation family owned and operated monument business that has been serving our customers and the community since our grandfather, John McGovern, Sr. and grandmother, Mabel McGovern, opened the business in 1924. Our father John McGovern, Jr. continued our grandparent’s vision and in 1986, John McGovern III, Linda McGovern and Maura McGovern joined the business to extend the family tradition. Our family’s excellent reputation, compassionate nature, and deep commitment to our family legacy help us to provide the very best service to our customers. Our decades of experience enable us to assist you and your family in this very personal decision. Our family works together to provide you the finest quality monument at a reasonable cost, just as our father and grandparents did before us.
