Much Gratitude and Appreciation to Angelo Gallego at Memorial Arts of Ridgewood for working with me so patiently and diligently. We live in an entire different State and were in need of a special Headstone for My Beloved Uncle. Angelo was with me every step of the way ensuring each specific detail. Angelo responded quickly to any and all questions and had an abundance of knowledge. The headstone came out brilliantly and means so much to us. Thank you Angelo and Memorial Arts of Ridgewood.
If, unfortunately, one finds the need to create a proper memorial for a loved one who has passed, it is reassuring to know there is a local team of caring professionals to assist.
We highly recommend Memorial Arts in Ridgewood. Angelo was such a blessing to work with; caring, knowledgeable, patient, a gift.
At a sensitive emotional time, there are often various points of view within the family, in designing the appropriate memorial. Angelo understood and patiently walked us through the process, modifying the concept until agreement. The finished product is simply perfect. A proper timeless tribute to a life lost too soon.
Angelo from Memorial Arts of Ridgewood was very courteous and helpful and worked with us with concern, compassion, and respect. As we live out of state, his willingness to work with us by photograph, phone, and e-mail was critical to get the memorial made on time and just as we wanted it. I would highly recommend Memorial Arts of Ridgewood.
I highly recommend Memorial Arts of Ridgewood. They handled everything with great care and professionalism. Angelo was incredibly responsive and guided us through each step with patience and understanding. We needed the monument completed by a specific date, and Angelo made sure everything was finished on time. The monument was exactly what we wanted and matched the existing family memorials perfectly. They did a great job, and we’re very grateful for their attention to detail and the respect they showed throughout the process.
Memorial Arts was wonderful. They sent a detailed mailing to my mom after my dad's passing - it was very kind - as they indicated that they would not call to solicit business. We appreciated that as we navigated the funeral, etc. I met with Angelo, and he was very helpful throughout the process of choosing a memorial and approving the final model. Both Angelo and Leeanne kept me informed throughout the process. Everyone made the experience quite pleasant despite the circumstances. I highly recommend Memorial Arts of Ridgewood.
Angelo and the whole staff at Memorial Arts were very helpful and responsive. Always answered the phone and my questions. They created a beautiful stone for my mom’s grave. Highly recommend their services.
Having never been in this situation before, I had a very comfortable working relationship with the team (Angelo) at Memorial Arts of Ridgewood. I had a lot of questions and concerns, all of which were addressed swiftly with detailed information and guidance on how to proceed.
Given that this need was during a time of grief, my request was met with amazing kindness and efficiency. Overall, in given situation, I was confident that my needs would be met, efficiently and in a costly manner.
I had an excellent experience with this monument company. From start to finish, the service was professional, compassionate, and efficient. Angelo was especially helpful, he took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and guided me through the entire process with patience and care. The quality of the monument exceeded my expectations, and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other companies I looked into. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a beautiful, lasting tribute for their loved ones.
The stone is more beautiful than I imagined, and all the people that helped us were so caring and seemed to naturally understand what a difficult time this is. Thanks
Caring, Compassionate and Professional - I recently lost a family member and called many monument dealers while I was "shopping" for a memorial. This company was, by far, the best I encountered. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. You would be surprised how many dealers i called and found the staff to be rude! This is definitely not what you want to deal with when going through and extremely difficult time. Memorial Arts had prices that were lower than other places I called, but honestly I would have paid more just because these people were so caring and helpful. I will be recommending this company to everyone I know that loses a loved one. I know they will be in good hands.
Purchasing a headstone - the staff was wonderful when my family and I were looking for a headstone. They took their time and showed us samples and various drawings that we could add. Other companies we looked at seemed to be rushing us out since we were having a hard time. I cannot express how pleasant it was to have someone understand that this was not a quick easy task one takes on. The prices were in the middle from other places we looked, I found them reasonable.
Memorial Arts of Ridgewood provided an exceptional caliber of professional service to our family. When we mentioned that our late grandfather was a lifelong helicopter pilot, Memorial Arts of Ridgewood crafted a heartfelt and personal memorial plaque to commemorate his memory. Our family much appreciated their measured craftsmanship, attention to detail, and reverence.
Great people, listened to what you wanted, didn't try to up-sell you. They took their time and delivered exactly what we wanted. It is one place that you hate to have to recommend someone to, but when we are faced with the reality of life and death, its the place I would recommend to help you with your final remembrance of your loved one.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the fine individuals at Memorial Arts of Ridgewood. Leeanne and Suzanne treated the situation with great care, compassion and handled it as a family member would. I will forever be grateful to Memorial Arts.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you, Leeanne and your company in extending suck professionalism, courtesy and sympathies during the purchase of my brothers memorial. I go every weekend to bring flowers and much to my surprise I go and the gravestone is there. Although I'm missing terribly my only brother, it brought some comfort and emotions to see a memorial with his name and picture. My first purchase was in 2003, husband, 2007, mother, 2015, Dad and now my brother. Memorial Arts never disapoints me. Excellent work. Right next to our parents!! Thanks You and Stay Safe!
Leeanne at Memorial Arts of Ridgewood was fantastic. From the beginning to the end of the process, and the follow up, she was nothing short of amazing. This was a difficult and emotional time for me and the family. While trying to coordinate everything from out of state, with a time difference, Leeanne showed compassion, patience, and understanding. She made the process simple without bombarding me with questions or need to make several decisions. It was reassuring to know that Memorial Arts had a good working relationship with George Washington Memorial Park. Knowing that, put my mind at ease that things would be done correctly for me and the family. Leeanne‘s communication kept me informed throughout the entire process. I cannot thank Leeanne and Memorial Arts for all the work they have done.
I cannot thank Suzanne enough! She was so incredibly helpful throughout this painful time. She was there for every step of the way from figuring out what we wanted as a family, selecting our urn, handling all shipping, and ensuring a timely delivery. I truly cannot recommend her enough.
We have purchases gravesite plaques from Memorial Arts of Ridgewood over the years for my in-laws and recently for my husband. Staff is super compassionate, friendly and guided us through all our decisions. The plaques have withstood the weather and test of time over decades at George Washington Cemetery. I would highly recommend Memorial Arts of Ridgewood.
I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your care, professionalism, and support during the loss of my father. Your team made a difficult time a little more bearable, and we truly appreciate the kindness and attention to detail you provided throughout the process. Your assistance gave us peace of mind, and we are grateful for everything you did. Thank you again for your exceptional service and compassion.
Outstanding customer service and communication. Leeanne is truly an asset to Memorial Arts. Courteous, professional, patient and extremely focused on making sure every detail is covered accurately. The company sets the bar for excellence across the board. Well deserving of a 5 Star Rating.
Memorial Arts helped us through a very difficult time. They were always responsive to our calls as well as getting in touch frequently.
I have used Memorial Arts of Ridgewood for both of my parents crypt plaques in the past. I recently had to order a replacement vase ring for my mom's crypt front which was damaged. Thank you to Susanne, Leeanne and Angelo for your professionalism, helpfulness and efficiency with my order.
They are compassionate and helpful in what is the worst possible time in your life. They make sure you are thoroughly pleased with the results of the monument that was chosen. Highly recommended.
Very professional and accommodating. Everything looks incredible and we ate very happy with the service and quality craftsmanship of our marker.
Leann is very professional and knowledgeable . She explained everything she did very clearly not just to me but our entire family. She always responded very quickly to all our questions. I would absolutely recommend Memorial Arts to anyone who asked.
My mother, sister and I worked with Leeanne and Memorial Arts of Ridgewood in choosing and designing a marker for my aunt. They made the entire process easy and were extremely helpful, professional and patient with our questions. They had the marker design emailed to us quickly, the marker manufactured in a timely manner-despite supply chain delays! and even interfaced with the cemetery for us. Top notch professionals and I would definitely recommend them.
Very responsive and willing to work with you. Great experience from start to finish!
Memorial Arts helped me through a difficult time and my experience and interaction was wonderful. Leeann kept me up on progress and was compassionate and kind. The resulting stone has been set and came out even better than expected. My whole family is grateful for all.
Death of a family member is unpleasant and unsettling...the more reason the survivors need funeral and burial services--including memorials--befitting professionalism, courtesy, and friendliness. Memorial Arts of Ridgewood were courteous, helpful, professional and attentive to the family's needs and wishes. They were helpful with the planning and configuration of the memorial grave plates, especially, and oversaw the manufacturing (delayed due to a situation abroad) and delivery of the grave plates to the cemetery in accordance with the family's needs and wishes. Professionalism and courtesy are always in order--but especially during times of grief. Memorial Arts were/are compassionate and honorable and decent in every way. Our family are indebted to them for their attention to detail and for outstanding service in our hour of sorrow.
Would highly recommend Memorial Arts. They have an extensive catalog of memorial stones, materials and designs. Suzanne and Leeanne were wonderful...knowledgable and so caring in helping my family design and install a beautiful tribute memorial stone for my parents.

The Staff at Memorial Arts were so kind and helpful to me at such a very difficult time. They understood my questions and made all decisions simple. They kept me informed till everything was finished. I would highly recommend them to help you with your needs. Thank you.
Suzanne from Memorial Arts of Ridgewood was professional and helpful especially during the COVID-19 pandemic May 2020. My brother was buried and needed a ribbon/plaque installed at the grave site. It was completed in a very reasonable time, given the nature of the pandemic and the horrible impact the virus had on services, etc throughout the area. The ribbon perfectly matches the other 3 that are on the main plaque. Kudos to Suzanne and her crew.
Memorial Arts of Ridgewood worked hard to design the memorial plaque I envisioned. They provided excellent guidance in the design. The mockups they sent made it easy to make finalize the project.
Great people, listened to what you wanted, didn't try to up-sell you. They took their time and delivered exactly what we wanted. It is one place that you hate to have to recommend someone to, but when we are faced with the reality of life and death, its the place I would recommend to help you with your final remembrance of your loved one.
After my mother passed, we wanted a bronze memorial to match the one on my grandparents' grave. The new memorial looks great, and details were taken care of. Thank you.
Easy to deal with, friendly, flexible and not unreasonably priced. While certainly easy to understand, it is all too often that people are quick to post negative experiences and fail to take the time to post positive ones.
Very nice people, considerate and easy to work with. The end product was exactly what we wanted. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
