After reading about the requirements on the stone color and technical limitations (black granite and high quality photograph for etching), I ignored it and ordered etchings of two low quality photographs on lighter color granite. Zahar told me that they had not worked with this stone before but was willing to try. Due to COVID disruptions and the stone being quarried in only one location on the U.S. East Coast, the wrong stone had arrived and it was unsuitable for the etchings. Zahar took the blame, offered me excellent discount, and quickly found black granite they had in stock. He managed to turn two old, small, and low-quality photographs into being suitable for laser etching and worked with me on the design; he listened to my preferences and designed the monument according to my wishes. If I may quote Zahar, I suggested to simplify one part of the design to make it easier and faster to complete the monument. He answered: "No. I am making every monument for myself, not only for our customers, I want to be satisfied with my own work". The monument ended up being on the different color granite, with the different shape of the stone, and a bit different design, and the monument is stunning, I love it. What is very important to me that the style of the monument is right, I wanted it to match the surroundings of the cemetery and only use the stone colors, no added paint. The monument brought peace to me. The family abroad liked the monument a lot, it was important for them to see it because they can't visit in person. Zahar tried and succeeded in creating almost unique monument because he and his father etched the whole photographs (people and background) rather than the portraits. It took a long time to have the monument completed. Please keep in mind that due to COVID, there is a global disruption in supplies (granite), even if the stone is quarried in the U.S. ("my" U.S. quarry had been closed for most of last year's quarrying season), and it takes 6 months or longer to get the stone to the business. The faster way to get the stone is to ask Zahar which stones they have in stock, rather than ordering it from suppliers. Many people died of COVID, and there may be a backlog for orders. And because Zahar is taking pride in his work, he takes time to design the monument, makes sure the design matches the customer's wishes, and does exceptional job in making the monuments, and it takes time. (Off-topic: the cemetery suggested to install a temporary flat granite marker with the name and date (inexpensive and fast to make), and to wait for the monument which would be installed on the top of the flat marker). My only feedback for Zahar is to be more direct with the customers about the time to complete the stone. He was saying that it is about to be done soon for months, it I knew to wait several months, I would just wait. I highly recommend Edgewood Monuments. read more

I came to Edgewood Monuments with a unusual request for a design of a tombstone I had come up with for my Parents grave site it Menlo Cemetery in Raymond WA. This request just happen to come at the worst possible moment. The exact same time that a Pandemic had taken hold world-wide, shutting down pretty much every industry, Monument companies included. "Zahar" didn't flinch! He worked hand in hand with me to make my design come to life, in fact better than I could have ever imagined. His talent, Professionalism, and firm resolve to see it through never wavered. We faced world-wide shipping delays, and numerous other technical issues, that might have made others throw in the towel, a number of times, but he was a rock amidst the storm for my Sisters and I. Keeping us informed every step of the way, even in the most difficult circumstances that came up. We never doubted him and his resolve, and were rewarded for our faith with a exquisitely crafted unique memorial, that is a great source of pride for us, and I know my Parents must be smiling. I HIGHLY recommend Edgewood Memorials, and Zahar, for their amazing professionalism, craftmanship, and truly heartfelt concern and attention they have blessed us with, in what has proved to be so much more than just ordering a Monument. With their hardwork, extra care, and ability to weather any obstacle, they have earned both our gratitude and respect. read more

I was very pleased with how the headstone for my family member turned out. Would highly recommend Edgewood Monuments and I seldom do reviews. I provided my favorite picture even though the photo was not of great quality and they did a great job anyway! I wanted the picture to be of hand carved in the stone by an artist in which Edgewood Monuments provided, and what a great artist, very pleased. Service was great and well beyond going the extra mile, exactly as promised, and packaged with great care. I requested a second little monument to be made for my family loved dog and Edgewood Monuments donated it. It was also amazing and 100% perfect. Thank you for the great products and all your over and above works you provided. read more

We worked with Zahar at Edgewood Monuments to create a marker for our beloved daughter. Zahar was very patient and kind and sincerely listened to our ideas and requests. He was very efficient and created several different options and designs for our family to consider. We ultimately chose the perfect design that really showed our daughter's unique style. The finished product was beautifully and expertly crafted by Zahar's father. We were also very impressed with how quickly the monument was completed and delivered. This was a very difficult time for our family, but it was made a little easier by the kindness, efficiency, and exemplary customer service provided by Zahar and everyone at Edgewood Monuments. read more

Oh my goodness, the headstone is beyond what we imagined. Due to covid hitting just as we were getting started, and internet issues, I lost track of time. But, it turned out for the best, as it gave my kids and I time to really think about what we wanted. Zahar took my pictures of my husband, Mt. Rainier, and one of their stock hummingbird pictures (I don't have anything quite like that one!), and created a beautiful memorial. Everyone who has seen a picture of it, is in awe. And you know what they say - it's even better when you view it in person. Family members have commented how perfect it is. For me, it brings a feeling of comfort, to view what was important to us, and to remember. read more

I would have to rate the service and the product from this business as outstanding. In the showroom Oleg helped us choose the perfect size, shape and graphics for the beautiful green granite for my husband's headstone. Edward in design added custom vines to the border. They added the perfect touch to honor his memory and comfort the mourners. Communication was good during the long wait for the stone. Installation was prompt and professional as soon as the stone arrived. This was all accomplish within our budget. Most of all we appreciated the courteous and compassionate way that we were treated. Thank you to all the staff at Edgewood Monuments. Frances T. read more

I had the most wonderful experience working with Edgewood Monuments! Zahar took the time to create a mockup of what we were thinking about to give us a visual while we were deciding on what we wanted and discussed the merits of the different types of granite for the flat marker. All of this was at no charge. We visited two other places but came back to Edgewood Monuments because of the quality of service, excellent price, and the ability of Zahar to create exactly what we needed. This is a great business and their website is awesome for helping you understand your needs prior to visiting the business to design your memorial. read more

Edgewood Monuments is a family owned company. They are very honest, experienced, knowledgeable, and reliable. They have very competitive prices and can customize any design to your family needs. We have customized pretty sizable headstone for our father, and it was made from very beautiful black granite. The quality of an engraved portrait is outstanding. We are very happy with results. We shopped around before we went to Edgewood and trust me, between Oregon and Canada we could not find anyone who can bit Edgewood's customer service, quality, and prices. read more

Our son passed away at 31 weeks of gestation. We got an estimate from the funeral home and it was 4 times the price. Zachary was very friendly as soon as we entered. He sat us down and asked what we were looking for. He wasn't pushy and didn't give us too many overwhelming options. He showed us what it would look like in the computer and it was perfect. He respond very quickly to our request and had the order place within a day. He also contacted the cemetery to assure we had the correct dimensions. This place was a gift from God. Thanks Zahar! read more
