Comparing Rock of Ages Products with Those of Competitors

For generations Rock of Ages has set the industry standard for quality, craftsmanship, and value. In recent years there has been an influx into the US market of monuments created overseas, monuments crafted of lesser quality stone, exhibiting poor craftsmanship and provided with necessarily weak or nonexistent warranties. Many of our competitors have chosen to sell these imports because they realize a higher margin on each sale and can offer lower prices to the consumer, increasing their sales volume. However, this gain for the memorial dealer is ultimately a loss for the consumer who is unaware that the memorial purchased in good faith will likely check, crack or stain within a relatively short period of time.

The purchase of a memorial is a significant purchase, like that of an automobile or a home. Price alone should never be the determining factor. Value must always be the consideration – a comprehensive view of cost, quality, craftsmanship, customer service and longevity of the memorial.

Our Rock of Ages branded products are the best value available today. A purchase of a Rock of Ages branded product assures you of the finest materials, the best craftsmanship, stellar customer service and an exceptional warranty to insure your future peace of mind, that the memorial you so carefully chose will retain its beauty for generations to come.

However, suppose that budget constraints necessitate the purchase of a less expensive memorial. Rock of Ages offers the best solution. We do carry non-branded, imported memorials, hand selected by Rock of Ages experienced buyers to assure the best value that can be had within that price category.

What is the biggest difference between buying a non-branded memorial from Rock of Ages or a cheap import from one of our competitors? Knowledge, respect and integrity. We will provide you with the knowledge you need to make an informed decision. You will know exactly what grade of stone you have purchased, what performance you can expect from that stone and what limited warranty, we are able to provide in that category. We will respect you as our valued customer, offering you our unequalled customer service. We bring integrity. You will leave with the full assurance that you have received the very best value for the price you can afford.
