Memorial Stones

Our Story
Pioneer Rock and Monument is a family business specializing in custom designed
headstones and grave markers. "We take pride in fine art designs, affordable prices
and caring service." We make each stone one at a time, with love. Dealing with the
passing of a loved one is always hard. We just hope that we can help a little by
making the process of marking a grave a little easier by treating customers with
love, respect and friendliness.
Pioneer Rock and Monument has been in business since 1985. We opened the
business out of our garage, and saw a steady stream of orders. In 2002 the business
moved into a new 2000 square foot shop, better able to handle the increasing
business. In 2004 our son Ben joined the team. In 2007 we began selling stones
through the Internet. Since then we've shipped headstones to three countries and
forty-eight states. In 2011 our grandson Nick began learning the trade, making
Pioneer Rock and Monument a family business consisting of three generations.
Most monument shops are retailers, and do not manufacture the stones
themselves. At Pioneer Rock and Monument, on the other hand, we make each
stone in our own shop.
Our shop is located in Goldendale, Washington, about 2 hours east of Portland,
Oregon. We have had customers drive from as far north as Alaska, as far east as
South Dakota and as far south as Las Vegas in order to purchase a stone from us.
