Our Story

More Than a Century of Craftsmanship

Shastone Memorials has been designing and handcrafting granite memorials since 1904. The Haskel family supplied the granite for the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building; the Rosen family has run the memorial business since 1995.

Because each memorial is personal, each one is handcrafted. They cannot be compared to production line, ready made memorials.

Our Work

How it works

From The First Conversation To The Setting

  1. Talking through options

    We start with a conversation. What the cemetery permits, what you have in mind, and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.

  2. Designing it together

    Browse our designs or bring us a photograph or a sketch. We settle the stone, the lettering and the inscription, and show you a drawing before a single cut is made.

  3. Cutting and carving

    The granite is cut, shaped and carved by hand. We handle the cemetery paperwork and the foundation while the work is under way.

  4. Setting the memorial

    The memorial is set, checked, and cleaned. We tell you when it is in place so you can see it before the unveiling.

Where we work

All Cemeteries, All Faiths

We set memorials in every cemetery in the tri-state area and know their regulations, so we can tell you what is permitted before you settle on a design rather than after.
