My mom and husband passed within 2 weeks of each other in June 2025. It was difficult communicating from Florida to New Jersey but it all worked out. I put my trust in Margaret Pelaggi working with Locust Hill Cemetery. I didn't see them until my trip to NJ in June 2026 for their Celebration of Life. The monuments were just perfect. I could not be more pleased with the outcome. read more

Pelaggi Monument Works - Stonemasons Near Me - Dover, New Jersey

See all

A cleaning done 3 years ago was not complete. One side of the large headstone was missed. This was noticed early in 2025. Our family started communicating with them late October, 2025. They didn't even know how much they charged (don't keep records?). Had to send them photos of work done. Then, nothing.... Glad no further money was paid. Kept asking them how much and when, but no reply. I am now going to another company. I have lots of friends whose families use the same cemetery and I am NOT recommending this company to them, OR to anyone. read more

Visited mom and dad yesterday and am absolutely disgusted!!! How dare PELAGGI MONUMENTS in Dover and East Hanover put a sticker with a link to their website on the stone without permission like its a damn car! I recently refrained from broadcasting their horrible customer service and unethical behavior out of fear that they would retaliate against my family at a later date but this is just ONE OF MANY REASONS TO NEVER USE PELAGGI MONUMENTS!!! Mark my words the minute after you make a deposit you will feel the shift in treatment. A company like this should be banned from working in an industry where people need some empathy and compassion because they have none! read more

Great service power washing our two our two plots at St Mary's Cemetery. While all the stones are knocked over and filthy dirty my grandparents, The Campanaro's and Saldutto's stand tall and beautiful as they were in life. Very happy with the service, results and reasonable price. read more

I would like to thank Pelaggi Monuments for the outstanding job of washing and cleaning our parents head stone. Over the years since 1975 it has collected moss and pollen, we made contact with Margaret and she scheduled a cleaning of the stone. After the cleaning we visited the stone and found it to be as pristine as it was back in 1975. Thanks again read more

Pelaggi Monument was extremely responsive. I live on the west coast and they coordinated getting updates with the Summit NJ cemetery. Once the design was finalized, the marker was ready the next day - and at the burial which enabled the entire family to see. Many thanks! read more

I want to thank Margaret for being so caring and responsive to me regarding the engraving on my Dad and Mom' grave stone. I reached out to her in November, 2023 but didn't complete my request until May of this year (2024). Once I reached out to her, she was extremely polite and responsive and completed the engraving in a few days. Their work is impeccable and I want to thank them for their wonderful work and bed side manner. Perry C. read more

Dear Margaret & Gabe it was a pleasure dealing with a family run business. The concern and care you took in getting our monument was eclipsed only by how beautiful the monument came out. Despite issues with our family not having their act together. Margaret was very patient with us when we changed the information more than four times. Special thanks to Gabe for returning my call on a Sunday. I would highly recommend your company to anyone who is looking for that small family personal touch you bring. Dennis read more

Pelaggi Monuments is Awesome! I recently purchased a headstone for my Irish grandmother who died nearly 50 years ago. Since it was so long ago, the paperwork etc. was no joke...but Pelaggi guided me all through that, patiently and professionally. After that, I then saw the headstone installed (very fast). The craftmanship and quality are incredible! Very reasonable pricing, too. read more

When my dad died almost two years ago I didn't know who to call for inscriptions on my family's stone. I was told to call Pelaggi Monument in East Hanover, NJ. When I called Margaret was very helpful and lead me through the process. She was very helpful and very professional as to what had to be done. My mom just passed away in August of 2024 and again I knew who I was going to contact. If anyone wants a business to help you through the process I would highly recommend Pelaggi Monument! read more

Pelaggi monuments has handled two projects for me. Two years ago they created a gravestone for my baby brother who had been without one since his birth and death 1958 and more recently for my mom who passed away last September. Margaret Pelaggi treats you with dignity and respect from the initial meeting and throughout the entire process, recognizing that you're dealing with one of the most difficult and emotionally draining times of your life. Pelaggi reduces the painful drama for you by acting efficiently and on a timely basis. They provide a quality headstone at a fair price and met both my requests to have the marker installations done by a certain date. Gabriel aims to please and does the best he can to exceed your expectations! Considering the circumstances of dealing with a loved one's death I am extremely happy to say that I recommend Pelaggi for your gravestone needs. It's obvious why the Pelaggi family owned business has been providing quality workmanship, at a fair price in this area, for generations! read more

The Pelaggis were wonderful to work with. I do not live in NJ and we were able to work together easily. Margaret was very responsive to every call or email I had. I had a complicated memorial, as my family plot has half a dozen cremains. I was looking to completely redo what was there and increase the personal details for each family member, none of which share the same last name. Margaret and Gabriel worked with me to design a monument that is beautiful and fit all my needs. They even knew the cemetery manager and were able to work with him as well to make sure we met specifications for our corner plot. I am extremely happy with the service and the product. Thank you Margaret and Gabriel! read more

Gabriel (and our initial contact, Margaret) were incredibly helpful and professional. Gabriel really knows his business, is a talented designer and was very patient with my mom and me, which was particularly appreciated after we had been dealing with such a difficult time. Gabriel made excellent suggestions and never tried to upsell us--in fact, he tried to save us money. He truly cares about his customers and his years of experience with a family business really came through. We will definitely go to Gabriel and Pelaggi Monuments for any future needs. read more

10 weeks is unacceptable to wait for a headstone to be inscribed. I had to call numerous times and send 16 emails. Every time I called it was like Margaret had no memory of my order or who I was. I had to explain myself over and over. I do not believe COVID-19 was the cause of this prolonged delay. Even if that was the case it would have been nice to be contacted to notify me. I got the final invoice right away though, no delay on that. I decided not to provide all the details on why I only gave 1 star. I started typing it and it would have been so long no one would take the time to read it anyway. read more

I would not patronize this business under ANY circumstance. My phone calls were not returned. My emails went unanswered. The firm representative was completely unprepared for the two meetings that I had with her. Finally, the representative lost the record of my payment in full. Left to my own devices, I would give this business zero stars. However, the site requires that I give at least one star. The one star is not deserved!!!!! read more
