This company went above and beyond in assisting me with getting an old monument raised which had sunk into the ground. They made several phone calls seeking a resolution and wound up resolving the problem through the cemetery without them making a dime out of the deal. If you ever need competent service relating to cemeteries, give Albert a call. He does the right thing without regard to compensation and follows through whether he's getting paid or not. read more

I'm thinking that this industry, tombstones engraving and sales thereof must rank in the top oldest professions -- along with the oldest professions we all have heard about -- yup, you guessed it, midwifery. All you that went with prostitution - get your dirty minds outta the gutter. Full disclosure, I'm not against it. So brass is being lifted, as in stolen from what I was told - all around NY cemeteries, gosh we're stooping to new lows in today's society folks - so brass or any moderately rare metals were out as to plates or ornimental decorations. Albert informed us that certain sections get certain sizes so ya can't just plop any headstones anywhere, there is a system and we were in the more moderately priced section. I was convinced that this was going to be a trying task, but with double monitors and PDF's up the ying yang, choosing a proper headstone was as easy as ordering business cards online, give or take We waited till spring, as Albert advised so the dirt will have time to settle, no mud will splash up upon the black granite and new grass will sprout around it soon, as soon as it's delivered which thankfully is part of the price. read more

See all

Where do I begin? It all started with the un expected passing of my father, a retired NYPD officer and trying to find someone to do our monument was over whelming to say the least. Our cemetery would not make any recommendations and only a hand full of friends have had to make this choice in their lives so no real solid leads. So, I did some research and found Davydov on Yelp! Their reviews were very good so we decided to go with them. With in 24 hours Mr Albert Davydov contacted me and was very knowledgeable and up front with how the work has been heavier then normal due to the Covid virus. We were in no rush and we're actually thinking Spring delivery when we started this journey in August. Albert listened to our vision and helped us every step of the way from color of stone, lettering style, quotes, and designs. Our cemetery is very strict with specifications allowed and Albert assisted us through the while process making it so much easier fir us. Sadly, my younger brother passed away so the monument production came to a halt and more paperwork was needed before production could commence. Thank goodness for Albert and his experience, we were in total shock with this passing and Albert kept us on track. Towards the end one of our very important details was not going to work as we thought and although we were sad; it sounded like the words would be too small couldn't be done. We would be happy with just the shape of the badge. We were so thankful for Albert's patience with us. Well...the monument was delivered and it looks stunning! Albert and his design team decided to HAND etch the details of the badge for us and I was speechless! It truly is a beautiful monument and highly recommend Albert and the Davydov team to help you create a monument worthy of your loved one. God bless you Albert! From the whole family we THANK YOU! read more

Bottom Line: Not a task you want to have to do but if you have to, this is the place. We met with Albert. He was very professional and very welcoming. We needed to add 3 names and dates to an existing headstone. My brother showed him a picture of the existing headstone and gave him the information on what he wanted added. My brother was going to add just the names but not the dates, thinking that it was going to be very expensive. We were pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was for the lettering. My brother gave the go ahead for the names and dates. We gave Albert all of the information from the cemetery and he handled everything else. About 2 weeks later my brother got a proof to approve (for spelling and date accuracy). Several weeks later we got pictures showing the finished product. We couldn't believe how fluid it looked. You can not tell where the old ends and the new begins. Very pleased with the entire experience, the professionalism, the pricing, the communication and the finished product. Bottom Line: When you need this service don't hesitate to use DavyDow. (The attached photo shows the before and after. The original photo was taken many years ago. Stone has naturally aged and lighting and cameras used were very different) read more

Davydov Monuments - Before and after. Excellent work. - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Middle Village, New York

I can't even express the gratitude I feel from Davydov monuments. They did an amazing job on my father's stone. I sent in a photo that needed restoration, and they restored it to the point where it was perfect. Albert is very responsive and works with you even if you can't make it in person. There was another place I was trying to get a monument from, and they were very horrible in responding before I even left a deposit. So imagine if I left a deposit. But that led me to Davydov monuments. I'm so happy I found them. It was meant to get my dad's tombstone from here. Albert listened to what I wanted, and he delivered. For what I paid, I felt like I got more than what I asked for. I didn't expect the perfection. They just made my dad look so lifelike. Thank you so much, Albert. I couldn't ask for anything more. You guys are amazing, and I highly recommend them. I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

Davydov Monuments - My dad's tombstone from Davydov Monuments. I highly recommend them. - Funeral Services & Cemeteries Near Me - Middle Village, New York

Davydov Monuments was recommended to me by Mt Olivette Cemetary. They gave great advice. I spoke with Albert and had communicated by text and emails to get the headstone completed all without going there from until it was completed and mounted on the lot. He contacted me and let me know when it was at the location. Then my family and I visited my mom which included 6 other family members on the headstone that went back to 1851. So, my family was very happy about having them incorporated together. The design and lettering and the overall headstone came out more beautiful than my family could imagine. It was definitely an easier process than I thought to get completed with Albert and everyone that had a hand in creating the headstone. Beautiful job. Well done. To all of you thank you. Regards, Elaine Winowitch read more

Davydov Monuments far exceeded my expectations. The work is highest level of craftsmanship in carving and especially portrait engraving by the master artisan, Gagik. Albert Davydov was very professional throughout the process, and he is a very talented designer himself. In the New York Metropolitan area there is no competition to even compare, Davydov Monuments... they are in a level of their own. The top level. Highly recommended. read more

In August 2019 I asked a Vice President of All Faiths Cemetery (Mr. Bryan) for a recommendation as to who could construct the gravestone for my dear Uncle Charles' grave. He replied: "Davydov Monuments and they are located right near All Faiths Cemetery on Metropolitan Avenue." So I called to meet them. Mr. Albert Davydov gave me a very reasonable price quote for a grey granite gravestone and a picture of what it would look like with its dimensions in inches, after I told him my Uncle's favorite color was grey! He assured me that it would meet all the rules and regulations of All Faiths Cemetery. I told Mr. Albert "I'll be back." I returned on Sept. 1 with a $2,500 down payment. Mr. Albert gave me the contract and told me the work would begin once I paid him in full. I said I would come again in October 2019 to give him the balance, which was less than $200! And the total price he quoted me was $800 less than the price I got from a competitor who was several blocks away! I thought Davydov Monuments was very fair and very reasonably priced. On October 29, I paid the balance to Mr. Albert and he told me that my Uncle's gravestone would be erected on my Uncle's grave right around the anniversary of his death, which was Dec. 24- Christmas Eve. On Christmas Day 2019, which was 1 day after the 3rd anniversary of my Uncle Charles' death, I went to his grave and saw the meticulous work that was done on Dec. 23 by the gravestone designers, cutters, inscribers, and erectors all associated with Davydov Monuments. My heartfelt thanks to you all, especially Mr. Albert Davydov. From Linde Barrera, Jan. 2, 2020. read more

You could not ask for a kinder, nicer, more professional person than Albert at Davydov Monuments when you are grieving. From initial contact through finished product, Albert was endlessly patient with me as we went through various iterations of the monument for my pet. He sourced the stone so that it would match my other pets monuments, and matched the inscription font to the other monuments (which he did not do, as I was unaware of this place at those times). His pricing was transparent, and fair. I recommend Davydov Monuments to anyone who requires his services. read more

I'm very grateful to Davydov Monuments.  The service was professional, caring, patient and beyond my expectations.  Albert was extremely knowledgeable when answering all of my questions and never attempted to sell me anything. Albert took a lot of time with me and was very patient when I requested changes. I never felt any pressure during the entire experience.  I was very happy with the work they did on my mother's stone. The stone came out looking better than I had expected... It was perfect!!! I was pleasantly surprised to find their rates were drastically less than any other company I vetted for the exact same stone.  I'll definitely use Davydov Monuments again and will highly recommend them to others. Thank you Albert of Davydov Monuments for your outstanding service and for making a very difficult time for me and my family a little easier to handle. The Santos Family read more

Mr. Albert Davydov helped me and my sister through a very difficult time in our lives: within one year we lost both our parents. He listened patiently to us, understood the differences between my and my sister's wishes and tactfully advised and guided us. His knowledge is very impressive and so is his patience, his care and compassion. Albert professionally kept the datelines, yet patiently and graciously accepted our last moment changes. Finally, the monument, the engraving, the etching of my parents portraits came out better than our expectations. Thank you Mr. Davydov! (I wish we could offer more than 5 stars) read more

Davydov monuments was recommended to us by a family we met at the cemetery and had purchased a head stone from them. After visiting a few monument establishments in the Queens area, their customer service, patience, pricing and professionalism stood out from the rest. Mr. Albert listened to what my family and I wanted and customized a headstone design that exceeded our expectations. He explained the process and guided us through each step and met the timeline for exact delivery date. Highly recommend this business,. read more

I was very impressed with this company. I do not live in NYC but my grandparents were buried there so we needed someone local. Albert handled our order and everything was perfect. From the promised date of completion to the craftsmanship on the monument. I really appreciate all their help because I couldn't be there to oversee the work and yet it turned out flawless. They managed to make the photo look life like, beautiful. The pricing was competitive. Very trustworthy company to help families prepare memorials for loved ones. Big thank you to them for making this process easy and creating a wonderful memorial for my grandparents. read more

This is a top notch monument maker. Super professional, prompt results. We had a grave of my aunt and uncle that had no grave stone for over 70 years. Told Albert, the owner, that there was no rush. Within four weeks, including 3 weeks for cemetery to prepare foundation for stone, the stonewas in place. Have heard some real bad stories about monument makers. Doesn't apply here. He runs a terrific business. Highly recommend. read more
