My father passed in September and we were looking for a company that could complete my parents shared grave marker. My mother passed in 2009 so we were looking for a company that could match the engraving perfectly. Josh returned my call immediately, made a site visit, quoted the project amount and put together a beautiful template. The end result was a perfect match!! The entire experience was absolutely amazing and the price very reasonable. Thank you Josh for everything!!! read more

Our daughters ceramic picture on her headstone had to be replaced. The memorial park , in Newport could replace it, but their quote seemed outrageous. I wondered if there was another option and found American Headstone. I must mention money is not a factor, but overpaying unnecessarily certainly is. We were treated to superb service and installation and a 50% savings . read more

This is a review that must be done. I am beyond pleased with the professionalism and promptness of this company! We dealt with another Headstone provider before, that was an absolute nightmare. They kept putting us off month after month, blaming the shipping issues. After 7 months, we gave up on them and gave them the review they deserved. Enter, American Headstone Company. Excellent customer service, Excellent price, Excellent timeline. Thank you Josh and Richard read more

My father-in-law passed away last year and was buried at El Toro Memorial Park. El Toro Memorial Park gave us a list of headstone companies to select one for his marker. We contacted several of those companies and a few other ones in the area and soon we realized that this was not a trivial task. It involved selection of the marker material, size, color, cost, having the option of a photo and bi-language inscriptions and above all the design of the marker. There was a relatively large variations among the companies in terms of quality of the marker and the photo, the ability to have bi-language inscriptions and cost. Also, one or two companies had a showroom to go to and see their samples of work. Finally, we decided to go with the American Headstone Company (one of the companies on the El Toro Memorial Park list). The main reason was its high Yelp rating with very good reviews, its marker designs with high quality color photos and bi-language inscriptions, and its owner Josh Rapozo. Josh was extremely nice, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. He emailed us a large sample of his marker designs and was very helpful and patient with us. He assured us that everything could be done online via email and text and there was no need to go a showroom. And he was absolutely right. We drafted a design and emailed it to Josh with a color photo of my father-in-law. He commented on and edited the text and after a few iterations, we were all happy with the excellent final marker design. Josh was really amazing in the process of finalizing the marker design. It is noted that Josh subcontracts the photo engraving with a company that is one of the best in the business and quality of their work is extremely good. American Headstone Company was not the least expensive one, but it was competitive and reasonable compared with other quotes. Due to Covid backlog, Josh told us that this would take about 12 weeks and he completed and delivered the marker to El Toro Memorial Park in 12 weeks. He emailed us a photo of the marker before it was shipped and it was exactly as designed and looked extremely nice. We went to El Toro Memorial Park after it was installed and we all liked it very much. It was simply a beautiful marker! God Bless my father-in-law and May He RIP! We are extremely happy with the work Josh did and will highly recommend the American Headstone Company to others. Thanks Josh! read more

In 1945 my mom's twin was born asleep. On what would have been their 70th birthday she contacted American Headstones in order to create a marker for her sister. All these years her burial place was bare. We worked with Josh and the process was an extremely smooth one. Especially since it had been 70 years. This company was great in making it happen. Not to mention the friendly way of handling our request. I would recommended them to anyone needing a marker for their loved one..... read more

After many attempts I was able to contact Josh. He said he had sent me an email and could not help me with my grandfather's headstone replacement. The email somehow never reached my email account. I had gotten pre approval from the cemetery caretaker for anyone I wanted would be allowed to work on our plot. Grandpa is at 1st Chinese Cemetery in East Los Angeles. The base is being repaired by the cemetery caretaker. However Josh said he is not able to work at the Chinese Cemetery to replace our headstone. read more

I recently and suddenly lost my sister and her 6 month old daughter. Going through a loss is an extremely difficult and painful time and it is difficult to take care of everything that comes after. American Headstones truly was a blessing. Josh made everything so easy for me. He was informative, detail oriented, patient, and also offered me multiple choices in regards to what was financially possible for me. He was willing to work with me for the design of the headstone/marker and took my ideas into consideration. I was over all extremely happy with the outcome of the finished product. I highly recommend American Headstones to anyone who is in need. read more

A total waste of time. The website says they do custom designs. But after long pauses and waiting (as others have mentioned) it turns out nothing is really custom. read more

I recently ordered a marker for my grandmother and Josh was amazing! Very kind, patient and extremely professional! I wasn't sure what to expect but I felt very comfortable working with them and trusting them to do a great job on the marker. It is a very personal thing to purchase because it is for a loved one and you want it to be perfect. The marker came out really beautiful and the whole process was easy and fast! Don't waste your time or money working with over priced cemeteries! American Headstones works with various cemeteries and they are far less expensive! Same great quality if not better! Thank you for your services, my family really appreciates what you created for my grandmother. read more

Losing my son has been the hardest event of my life. The idea of shopping for a headstone seemed torturous. I found American Headstones online and messaged..I received a quick and friendly reply. I do not have enough words to thank Josh for his help, professionalism and kindness. We had countless phone calls and he ensured that I was pleased every step of the way. The headstone is the last thing I purchased for my little boy..and it is beautiful. Once the marker was installed I noticed a little bit of water damage from the sprinklers at the cemetery. I reached out to Josh about what product I could buy to clean it and he quickly responded and even sent me a how to video along with screenshots of the products I could purchase. He is always available for any help. In this line of business you need people who work through kindness. I could not have asked for a better company. Thank you again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Josh and American Headstone Company! After losing my husband, I contacted Josh about designing a headstone. Josh was knowledgeable, responsive and so patient. With COVID we were not able to meet at his office but everything was handled via email and phone calls. I changed my mind several times regarding the design but Josh was very understanding and patient. The final product is fantastic and my sons and I couldn't be happier! It it so refreshing to work with a company that truly puts the customer first. Thank you Josh and American Headstone Company! read more

From the moment I contacted Josh at American Headstone, I was extremely pleased with his responsiveness, knowledge, professionalism and kindness during a difficult time of loss for our family. Josh was so patient and thorough, and happily worked with me during several design changes. He is an excellent communicator and pays close attention to detail. The final headstone for my brother was absolutely stunning and of high quality. I'm so glad I went with American Headstone instead of other companies I had interviewed. Josh had the best products at the best prices and was able to safely deliver my brother's beautiful headstone to San Diego. It is a beautiful piece of artwork that will provide lasting beauty for my brother's gravesite. I highly recommend Josh and American Headstone and will definitely use them again if the need arises. read more

American Headstone was a great company to deal with. Josh was super patient, walked me through the entire order process, offered suggestions, gave me advice and stayed in contact until the my late brothers plaque was delivered. They are a real pleasure to deal with, especially when you're going through a lot after a loved one has passed. If you're looking for a plaque or head stone for your loved ones talk to Josh, you won't regret it. read more

I contacted American headstone to have a marker made for my beloved cats. Josh who helped me was excellent. He was knowledgeable, gave honest advice, and very patient. He also made sure that I was compliant with all the cemetery rules. After answering my many concerns and questions, we decided on a large ceramic photo and the result was beautiful! When the marker arrived at the cemetery, all the cemetery staff remarked how beautiful the stone was and said that American headstone did a great job for me. It took me a long time to finally make the stone because I wanted it to be perfect. I searched for a long time until I decided on American Headstone. I felt that I could trust Josh to make it perfect and he did. Thank you for everything! read more

I don't write reviews unless I see excellent service. Josh of Allheadstones.com / American Headstone Company went above and beyond to listen to what my Dad wanted for his dual-headstone (it has Mom's info on it and it will someday have Dad's info on it.). Josh was very detailed, he allowed us to include special hand-drawn art from Mom which she would truly LOVE, he helped us figure out how to fit the full verse of John 3:16 into the message, he gave us great advice regarding Dad's all-bronze US Air Force Medallion, and the metal photograph is beautiful, too! We had spoken with several other companies, but Josh out-shined all of them by truly listening to what we wanted and he did a beautiful job! Thanks Josh for helping us to make an art piece that will forever mark the great lives of Mom and Dad. God bless you! read more

Josh was amazing. We are so happy with the headstone. He helped me with the design and stone and we could not be more pleased.

Josh is a man of his word. He did a quality job of the final onsite headstone engraving and polishing. I obtained bids from three other companies and Josh was the most competitive and responsive. read more

My son, Tynan, age 17, died March 6 2017. He was riding his motorcycle and we don't know why, but he lost control and hit a telephone pole, died instantly. After the initial weeks, going to the cemetery, seeing a teeny 3x5 card to mark his grave, I needed to get the Headstone handled. I wanted all his friends, our friends, and us to have a lovely, fitting tribute to him to look at while visiting. So I took to the internet. I found a bunch of "self-serve" online forms, and kind of a weird "car salesman" type vibe kept emerging. Like really low budget, not what I wanted. I wanted a low price, but a decent representation of the life of my son, and our family. I started making phone calls. Most places were far away, and I couldn't get personalized service. I called American Headstones, and spoke to Josh, and he told me he was a graphic designer, and would be creating my stone himself. Hmmm... I was intrigued so I called back again and asked if I could come and work with him? I want this thing to be PERSONAL. I want it how I want it. (But I don't know how to design a headstone!) He agreed and I went to his office. I told him what I wanted, what I didn't, I asked his opinion on granite, which he gladly gave, and in a couple of hours we were done. We chatted back and forth to make sure everything was correct, and true to his word, in about 5 weeks we had our headstone in place at El Toro Cemetery. We all love the outcome, and everyone says how great it is. I will include our headstone here so you can see it. read more

I just hired this company to complete my parent's grave marker at the cemetery. This company is the best! They matched my mother's existing lettering and coloring perfectly, on site. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone. They were reasonable, prompt and very responsive. read more

My mom's original grave marker was in a horrible state; she looked neglected, which was not true in death OR in life, so I started looking for a new stone. Josh was super nice, accommodating, and got a quote out to me quickly. After speaking to at least 6 different places, I went with Josh and American Headstone Company. SO GLAD THAT I DID! The new stone is GORGEOUS, and the photo is almost 3 times the size it was on the previous stone! It arrived quickly - ahead of the time I was told. I can't say enough good things - just a big THANK YOU to Josh and AHC. read more

Recently worked with Josh on a marker for my father in law. Josh was always readily available to walk me through the process and answered any questions I had. He delivered promptly and on time. I would recommend his service! read more

Josh from American Headstone Company was great and really easy to work with! My family and I kept going back and forth on designing my dad's marker and I don't know how many times we had asked him to change the design, but Josh had been so patient and never pushy with us. Even though we had never met him in person and all of our communications were done via email and a few times over the phone, I still felt at ease during the entire process. Josh was straightforward as well as knowledgeable when it came to cemetery's rules and regulations. It was also great that his costs were fair and reasonable. I am grateful for this great experience, and I totally recommend going with his company and not ordering your marker or headstone from anywhere else. read more

My five-star customer experience with AHS exceeded my expectations and was positive throughout the process! On my last day in town, a last-minute cancellation by the mortuary left me scrambling to find a trustworthy alternative headstone maker. A few phone calls later, I found Josh at AHS. Josh flexed his schedule to accommodate my limited time. Right then, I knew this important duty would be finished before I departed for home. Later that day, Josh and his father met me at their premises. Immediately, I sensed they would efficiently handle every detail with care. I was relieved to know I could complete the arrangements on the spot. We rolled up our sleeves and designed the stone in real-time. Imagine how happy I was with this collaborative spirit: I'd save time by avoiding a protracted process of emailed design iterations. I'd leave for home assured this task was in capable hands. With Josh's expertise, we quickly went through a creative process that evolved from basic lay-out to final design. By creating a mock-up, Josh showed how variations on the design would appear. Together, we improved the design until it was just right. The result captured the essence I had imagined. Shortly after, I left AHS knowing exactly what the headstone would look like with all the remaining details settled. We all know that ordering is one thing--fulfillment is where the rubber hits the road! Within the week, AHS had sent me photos showing the finished stone. The next day, the cemetery called to report its delivery. Within the week, the cemetery had it installed. What a blessing to have all this come together so smoothly and quickly. Having such prompt closure on this important task has been wonderful. In comparing my experience with that of friends who used other vendors, I know that AHS was truly first class. read more

American Headstones did a remarkable job on my mother's marker! Josh was efficient and professional and made the process so easy! Purchasing my mother's marker is one of the hardest things I've had to do, but I am so greatful and so thankful to have found a company that was able to provide a beautiful marker in a timely, cost efficient manner. I wish I could give more stars!!! Thank you so much! read more

A few weeks ago I called this place because of the great reviews. I briefly spoke with someone and told him what I was looking for and asked for a quote. He mentioned he was currently out on the field working and politely asked if he could call me right back. I waited two days, three days, left a couple of messages but got no reply so I thought I would just drive there and take a look at their showroom. Turns out they don't have a store/showroom. I was actually parked in front of someone's home! I kept looking at my GPS thinking I put in the wrong address but nope, this is a RESIDENCE. I left wondering how are these people making markers in their backyard? I decided to call other marker companies. After talking to a couple different people and mentioning my experience, I learned the owner's father's name is Richard Repozo. So looking more closely at the reviews, which seem more like advertisements, I noticed most people reviewing this business have a last name ending in "R", (Richard R., Angelina R., Caroline R.) which is the same as the owner's last name. So are these guys having family members post reviews??? And what would be the reason for that? Good thing I decided to take my business elsewhere. read more

Josh from American Headstone Company made this difficult time for us easy and smooth. We designed our own marker for my mother-in-law and it turned out phenomenal. Their price was also very reasonable. read more

The father and son team was knowledgeable of the industry and we got everything we wanted for a fraction of the price. The entire experience was Genuinely from the heart. read more

I had the entire design done via the internet and had drawings sent via e-mails, wonderful experience working with Josh and Richard. The stress and pressure of trying to work this difficult time working first with the mortuary was painful. I cannot over emphasize how wonderful and pleased I was with the experience and the product. read more
