Memorial Granite Corp

What Memorial Granite Corp does

Memorial Granite Corp. is a family-owned wholesale granite monument designer and manufacturer established in 1949, headquartered in Woodside, Queens, New York. The company operates as both designer and fabricator, combining four generations of carving craftsmanship with modern stone fabrication technology. Its product portfolio includes custom granite monuments organized into three cultural categories (Gentile, Jewish, and Chinese), private mausoleums manufactured in-house, bronze and flat-slant markers sourced through partnerships with Matthews International Bronze and Granit-Bronz Company, and accessories including proprietary Granite Craft-coated memorial vases and ceramic picture plaques. The company maintains nine specialized design books across categories such as etchings, saints, angels, floral, crosses, and miscellaneous religious and commemorative motifs, with custom etching services performed by staff artists.

The company's business model is that of a direct-to-customer wholesale manufacturer-dealer, eliminating middleman costs by purchasing raw granite directly from international quarries in Africa, India, and China. It serves three primary segments: cemeteries and funeral homes requiring monuments and mausoleums (B2B), families and individuals seeking personalized memorials (B2C), and other monument dealers purchasing wholesale for resale. Distribution is conducted through direct wholesale sales to cemeteries and dealers across the tri-state area (NY, NJ, CT) and direct retail sales at showroom locations. Pricing is quote-based and varies by size, color, artwork, and accessories, with an average production time of 6-8 weeks.

The firm operates no public listing, has no disclosed funding rounds, no named management team, and no parent company. Its go-to-market depends heavily on its website, which the company describes as the largest and most equipped monument website in the U.S., offering online sketch review, design changes, and production tracking. The company holds a trademark for the Granite Craft coating process and partners with two premium bronze suppliers and multiple international quarries. With only 6 employees and no disclosed revenue, Memorial Granite operates as a small, stable, multi-generational family business focused on a niche regional market.
