if I could rate it less than one star, I would. we were charged a higher than average amount for a death date on a headstone we purchased through them (they were fine a few years back) last May. Still nothing. calls and emails unanswered. this is retail fraud. read more

Warning: Avoid Morris Hills Memorials at All Costs! If I could give zero stars, I would. Morris Hills Memorials is a disgrace to the funeral and memorial industry, and their behavior is nothing short of predatory. For over three years, this company has been taking advantage of grieving families, exploiting people at their most vulnerable moments for financial gain. What's worse is that they promise compassion and quality during difficult times, only to deliver no services at all--after they've taken your money! Numerous families, including my own, have been misled, overcharged, and outright scammed by this company. We are not talking about minor delays; we're talking about no memorial, no return phone calls, emails or texts - they dishonor the memory of our loved ones. It is despicable how this business operates, preying on those who are too emotionally drained to fight back. The owner shows no remorse, no accountability, and hides behind false promises and deceptive contracts. They are incredibly unprofessional, and when confronted, become defensive, rude, and dismissive. There is no excuse for the unethical treatment they've shown to grieving families who trusted them during their most difficult time. The only recourse is Small Claims Court and Kurt is relying on people not bringing a claim against him as the legal fees outweigh the deposit. He's despicable. Do yourself a favor--DO NOT do business with Morris Hills Memorials. There are reputable, caring companies out there who genuinely want to help people through their grief. This company is NOT one of them. You don't need added stress and frustration on top of your loss. Stay far, far away from these scammers. read more

Horrible. In 2013 Morris Hills did a good job providing a flat marker. I regret not checking internet in 2024 when I decided to replace flat marker and have names on flat marker put on an upright along with the 3 existing names. Met Kurt Ligos in August 2024. He said I could use existing base on upright stone and he provided drawing quickly, sending via email. I sent $1200 deposit, cashed immediately. No contact/progress report from him for over 8 months. I texted him in April 2025. No response. Emailed a few days later, no response. Tried calling, voicemail full. Several more attempts and the promises started. The cemetery told me they have had numerous complaints about Morris Hills. I contacted Denville Police, they too have had complaints but advised it was a civil matter. I live out of state and small claims not viable which I think Ligos counted on. Now I wish he had stolen the $1200 because the job he finally did is horrible. In July 2025 he finally installed the new stone. Not the same quality of the original flat stone, something called Lithochrome carving. Letters have paint and will probably need maintenance over the years which proper carving would not. Also, he must never have looked at the base because it is something called drop wash base, meaning it is not flat but is rounded, an apex on top. Allows for water runoff I think. Ligos put a flat bottom stone on a curved base. The stone is balanced on the base and the adhesive used to anchor the stone can be seen all around it. You can stick part of a credit card between the base and new stone. I was concerned that water/freeze and thaw would be a problem. When I asked if it could be redone he said it is level and centered. No attempt at customer satisfaction. I asked him to amend the balance due and share some of the additional cost I am now incurring for a proper base/setting and he said it was not in the contract! I sent him the balance so I am done with him but still have more to do to make this right. This experience has been beyond unsatisfactory. read more

Unfortunately, I looked at these reviews after months of frustration. I asked for a simple engraving on an existing stone. My card was charged right away but then I could not get any response after many emails, phone calls and the office is always closed. After three months I called my credit card and disputed the charges, if it's not a scam it certainly is the closest thing to it. I'm not sure what's going on or how a business can remain in operation this way, but be warned. read more

Do not use Morris Hills Memorials...period. They are scammers with a nice looking website. Gave them an $800 deposit for work that was nvere done and got a BS story about "dealing with illnesses". Zero stars but had to check at least one for this "review" . Beware! DO NOT USE THEM! read more

Seven months and still waiting. "It'll be there in two weeks" repeated over and over. Not answering the phone now. Fraud? Embezzlement? Theft? Those thoughts are cropping up. read more

He is a scam artist. I called the cemetery after over 6 months and he never reached out to them. He took my money and his voicemail is full, his office is locked and he doesn't return any of my emails. All I wanted to do is get a beautiful stone for my late mother and this crook stole my money during a very vulnerable time. read more

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE! Would not recommend this company. I honestly feel like I an being scammed. I placed an order mid march and we are almost mid august and i keep receiving reply emails that it will be shipped in "2 weeks". Original time frame for completion was 6-8 weeks. John never answers the phone and now i am ready to go knock on his doors. I am very disappointed with this service and communication I was hoping to have this done by mother's day and he told me it was possible and here i am still waiting. Contract was signed and deposit was made on time. He answered quickly for that. I recommend calling restland cemetary and finding other vendors. read more

I purchased a grave marker for my wife recently and my experience with Morris Hills Memorial was dismal! The monument arrived a couple of months late. I would drive over to their Denville location and there would be no one there during office hours. The sign on the door requested we call the number. I would make several call and none of the messages were returned. This is a business that should show compassion after the death of a loved one but they were very uncaring during the process. Would not recommend! read more

When my father passed away 20 years ago we used Morris Hills Memorials. We were very happy with the tombstone and it was done in a timely manner. With the passing of my mother we decided to return to Morris Hill Memorials. I spoke with Kurt and he requested I email him all the required information. Unfortunately that was the last I heard from them. They never returned my calls nor did they answer my emails. I also have heard very bad reviews stating the same. I would not recommend using them. Contact the cemetery for companies are often used there. They are very helpful in this very difficult time. read more

Morris Hills Memorials installed a beautiful family monument. The monument was made to every specification requested by the family.

My family has used Morris Hills Memorials in the past and was satisfied with the service. Unfortunately, I can not say the same for my most recent experience. A small stone was ordered mid August. The drawings and deposit were handled in a timely fashion with a promise date of 6-8 weeks. I understood the effect of Covid on timelines, but made it clear my mom had passed away in April, out of state, and we were unable to have any service. We wanted the stone done so we could have a graveside memorial when I knew the immediate family could meet. I called mid October and was able to get through after a couple of calls. I was promised delivery in 2 weeks. Several weeks went by and call after call went unanswered including one to the office in Chatham. I emailed and it was undeliverable. On two occasions, I drove to the office, saw a sign saying out of the office please call....for assistance- to no avail. At that point I thought the office might be closed permanently. On the next trip to the office, ready to call the business on the second floor, the door was open and Curt was there. After I expressed my concern, and dissatisfaction I was told the stone would be placed within a week. Finally got it the week before Xmas. A SIMPLE RETURN PHONE CALL WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED. Finally, I will say, the marker was to specification. I only wish, during this very stressful time for all, the process would have gone more smoothly. read more
