Testimonials

I had an excellent experience with this company and in particular Evan Smith who took care of our parent’s monument. He listened carefully to our ideas and we never felt pressured to go beyond what it took to create a fitting tribute for them. The project was somewhat complicated by the gravesite being 2 hours from where we live and anxiety that something would go wrong, but I am delighted with the finished headstone and would 100% recommend this company and Mr. Evan Smith. Thanks to you and the craftspersons and installers who did such an outstanding job.

– Vanessa Hillerich

Mr. Evan Smith expertly accommodated each need with patience and genuine concern. He also helped me find the best price to meet my satisfaction. Luckily, he was even there on Saturday, to my surprise. I highly recommend them.

– Scott

It was a wonderful experience to be able to put a statue of Jesus in the cemetery.

– Sue McGraw

When we discovered our son’s gravestone had been knocked off of its pedestal, we called Gallagher and Sons immediately. Mr. Jason Gallagher was kind enough to come to the cemetery to help reset the stone.  We are beyond grateful and so happy that our son’s stone was put back in place.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and hard work.

Very professional and personable. Made the experience very peaceful and easy. Very experienced. Keith was great!

Hello to whom it may concern,

My name is Larry Elliott. I am 72 years of age. About a year ago(2023) I made the decision to go forth with my monument and went to a monument company in the city where I am to be buried, Hodgenville, Ky.I knew I wanted something that had a CROSS on it and had one picked out there already and was ready to go forward with that company. It was on their showroom floor. A friend of mine in Hodgenville said did you check out Keith Monument in Elizabethtown and I said no. I thought I would just stop in their showroom which was not too far away and man am I glad I did.

The showroom was 5 times as big but what was the most important thing was the time and concern that Evan and Roxann gave me in helping me design the monument. They gave me many ideas and thoughts as to exactly what I might want on the monument and I met with them several times and it has taken several months to get it complete(delays on my part). This extra time gave me the time to make the changes(which were many) that I needed to do to get it right.

I have many things written on my monument that are important to me for all my family and anyone else to see after I am dead and gone. There are over 20 Biblical scriptures and over 200 words actually written out on this monument. That takes a lot of time and skill for a person to do that. There was no charge for any of the time to do all those letters, dates and scriptures. It is a 4 foot high CROSS that catches the eye of any one 100 yards from it. There was never any pressure to complete it and I was always made aware of what it would cost. I am very pleased with the final product of my life provided by Keith Monument.

– Larry Elliott

After having the original monument company not responding, Keith Monument stepped up and got it done. My wife’s headstone looks great. Thanks Evan.

My mother passed away a year ago in 2023. She and my dad, passed away in 1992, had their headstone made a few years before he passed away. They were very proud of their headstone made by Keith Monument. My wife decided to take care of purchasing our headstone ahead of our passing so that our son and daughter would not have to worry about that. We went to Keith’s Monument on Dixie Highway to look at their selection and chose the same type stone as my parents used. After it was done with our names and birth dates and decor that we wanted etched into the stone and then set on our cemetery plot close to my parents, we were very pleased and happy with how it looks and how it rests in North Hardin Memorial Gardens as our future resting place.

Keith Monument was very helpful in helping us find what we wanted and getting it ordered and placed. We were very happy with its appearance and craftsmanship. Will gladly recommend your services and products to anyone we know looking for a monument.

– Joseph and Norma Jean Lee

Our salesperson, Caryn Pils was outstanding. She was patient, kind, and very helpful with helping my mother who is hard of hearing understand everything. She came to our home and was wonderful. We also dealt with Rich at the office who helped out with getting our stone placed after a rough time with graveyard. He worked for several weeks and finally got everything settled. He was also very kind and extremely professional and informative. I would recommend this team to anyone looking for a monument.

-Tracy Hatter Belford

Tim was very polite & helpful. If there comes a time when you need there service I would recommend them.

Dear Roxann,

John and I want to thank you for your helpful and delicate guidance in choosing a monument for ourselves as well as for my sister, Jean. Thank you for your help. We sort of knew what we wanted but we were not very clear in how we expressed it. You led us through the procedure very gently and we are very happy and satisfied with the results. We ventured forth to see what we had chosen for ourselves as well as for Jean. We are very happy and more than satisfied with the results. You can see Jean’s artistic talent in her stone, and ours, incorporates our children, our life enterprises, and the Tulip Poplar that surrounds us beautifully, in what will probably be our last home. Thank you so much for your personal involvement and touch.

-John & Anne Hamilton

Just a note to let you know how pleased I have been with your service. I went to the cemetery and looked at the stone. I am also very pleased with it. Roxann was very efficient and comfortable to work with. She was a lot of help to me as we picked out the stone and all that’s associated with that. I don’t know what I would have done without her. Thanks so much for your services.

Dear Keith Family,

My family and I would like to express our deepest appreciation for the outstanding service we received from Wayne Pils at your Bowling Green location. Wayne worked diligently to locate a suitable gravestone for our terminally ill father. Our window of time was extremely short and for our mother’s peace of mind, we so wanted the stone in place at the time of our father’s burial. Wayne made it happen.

We were extremely impressed with Wayne’s sensitivity to our situation and the empathy that he showed us. In the future, we can and will highly recommend Keith Monument to anyone seeking a gravestone for a loved one.

Warm regards,

Sarah S. Richey

The monument is well done. Thanks for a wonderful job!

-Edna Koenig

Thank you so much. It is beautiful!

Wayne,

Quick note to thank you again for all your help with my wife’s monument (Eve Powell). I was very pleased with the final result, and really appreciated your ideas and design on the combo maker. Eve’s family was pleased, especially her sister who loved your design including our marriage date. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know needing your services.

Thanks again for all your help,

Thank you all!

Thanks,

Katherine Miller

I am very pleased with our stone. Thanks to Roxann and all involved!

-Pat Stone

The stone looks great! Wayne’s design– the 3 roses to represent the 3 children and the cross was EXCELLENT.

The lettering is so close to my brother’s, it’s hard to tell they were done 7 years apart.

Thank you,

Priscilla Brown

Dear Wayne,

I am writing to express how fully satisfied I am with the work you and the staff of Keith Monument Company produced for my family. As you know, we were saddled with a monument that had come from another area firm and with which we were deeply dissatisfied and felt had to be replaced.

Unlike the providers of the offended monument, you and your staff took the time to visit the gravesite and work with me to design a monument that would be similar in style and quality to the older stones on our family plot. At the same time, you carefully listened to suggestions of design elements that would be suitable based on the life of the deceased. Armed with an understanding of the desired style and quality and personal information, you employed your creative skills to produce a perfect blend for my aunt’s monument. I could not be more pleased with the final product carved from some of the best granite available in this country.

When I consider the differences in the stone we replaced to the stone created by Keith Monument, I am amazed. As you know, the former began to discolor and developed spots making part of the stone appear wet when it hadn’t rained in days, and it revealed itself to be exactly what it was: a cheap imitation made from inferior stone important from China. By contrast, the superior-quality Vermont granite, finished exactly as requested and engraved with great precision, has all of the qualities desired. When I visited the cemetery recently and gazed over the scene, it was as though the new stone had been there for years because it blends seamlessly with those surrounding it. There is simply no similarity to the former stone and the new one from Keith Monument.

I will be honored to recommend your company to others, confident in the knowledge that they will have a similar experience and results. I thank you for your many kindnesses to me during this process, your attention to detail, and your professional standards that made an otherwise sad process far more pleasant.

Sincerely,

William Samuel Terry IV

-J.R. Smith

My deepest gratitude to Keith Monument Company. Being from out of town, we were particularly thankful for the seamless services they provided that were comforting in our time of sorrow. My family and I cannot thank the Keith Company enough for their beautiful work and sincere commitment to meeting our wishes and needs.

-James Kelleher

Visit from Florida & went to see a “WONDERFUL” person and learned someone had stolen their vase! Reached out to Caryn and she was “VERY” helpful in replacing. Thank you!

Dear Roxann,

-Nancy Sobeer

Wayne & Caryn,

Thanks so much for helping us select the perfect stone for me and Allen. It’s so beautiful. Just what I had in mind. Your kindness made it so much easier during this difficult time for me.

Thanks again,

-Libby Rose

Good Morning,

It looks perfect. Thanks again for your assistance and professionalism.

-Mark Casey

Dear Caryn,

Thank you so much for helping me with this. I appreciate it more than you know. I am the oldest of eleven kids, and my middle name is Anne, named after Aunt Anne. My mom was the youngest sister to Aunt Anne so this means a great deal to us. Please take a picture of the headstone with the marker in place so I can show mom. Aunt Anne served in the army for twenty years at a time when women were not widely accepted there. Not only did she earn her place in the army but also the respect of all who served with her. That is why getting this marker in place is so important to me.

Thank you,

-Shelby

Thank you very much for everything you have done for me.

-Tony T.

Keith Monument Company,

I need to recognize your placement staff on the bench for my parents– you did exceedingly well when you hired Chad and JR!

All too often customers are disappointed by services, but not experienced by these two professional men!

-Diane Skaggs Osbourne

Thank you, Wayne, for all your thoughtfulness and compassion during a difficult time. Your product, services, and compassion are unmatched!!!

Thank You and may God bless.

-Kevin Clark

I want you to know how grateful I am for the way you dealt with me in having an appropriate, wonderful, beautiful, perfect gravestone set in Evergreen cemetery for my wife, my son, and myself. You were very, very helpful from the beginning in helping me with both the selection and design of the three-person memorial. When a problem developed, you took care of it in a timely manner. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so, so thankful.

Sincerely,

Dave Wright

Have been very pleased with your work and support in difficult times. Recommend you to others.

-Rebecca Williamson

I am writing to thank you for providing such a wonderful monument to mark the grave of my wife, my son, and myself. It is absolutely magnificent. It is the best looking marker in the whole of Evergreen Cemetery. I mean that. I am so satisfied with what you provided to me that I just want to SHOUT! Additionally, I want to thank both of you for being so kind and efficient in your dealings with me. I cannot imagine how you all could have dealt with me in a better manner. I want you to know that I am grateful! Here is a great big THANK YOU!

May God bless you both and all the folks at Keith Monument Company that had anything to do with our monument!

Sincerely,

David Wright

Great company. Compassionate, caring, understanding. Give them a try.

-Doug Downs

The monument is strikingly magnificent! My daughters and I are very proud to have it as a tribute to May Ann for hundreds of years to come. I go by every Sunday after church. I have good photos that I have sent to our daughter in Scotland, family in AL and GA. Thank you and your team for working with us to get the pattern/design just right. The full-page size color design photos you all prepared settled the decision. The finished product is exactly what was in the design photos.

Happy holidays to you all,

Bill Mathis & Family

Beautiful artwork, personal service, and great prices.

-Mike Russell

They have served my family for several generations. I don’t think I could even think of using anyone else, anywhere else.

Dear Mr. Keith,

On behalf of all my family, I want to thank you and everyone at Keith Monument Co. for the beautiful gravestone that was crafted in memory of our parents. I know you were probably working with several other customers, as well as us over the past several months, but we always felt as though we had your individual attention. Thank you for your patience with our often indecisiveness and ignorance in this process, since we were rookies at it. Your expertise and personal attention in all areas were greatly appreciated. We feel this process was another step in our journey of healing from the loss of these two wonderful parents. May God continue to bless each of you as you serve the needs of others in our community.

Sincerely,

Lutz Family

Caring staff that will assist with your needs.

-Susan Eisner

Great customer service. Walked me through the process.

–John Smithe

I looked at the stones, and they look very nice, as well as the cleaned-up old stones.

Thank you,

Bill Handley

Words cannot begin to describe what an excellent job that was done on Mom’s tombstone. I know she would be very happy with it. I will tell everyone I know that Keith’s Monuments is the place to shop for end-of-life items.

Thank you so much for all your help with the numerous questions that we had. I appreciate all the time you took with us during our difficult decisions.

Again, thanks for a job well done!!

Regards,

Bekki Muss

I would like to thank you and your crew for a wonderful and beautiful job you all did on my husband’s headstone.

-Mrs. Macklin and Family

Purchased 3 monuments over the years from Keith Monument. Always extremely pleased with the service, follow-up, and price. Placed in a family cemetery on the farm. They were very accommodating in driving down the dirt road to the cemetery, placing foundations one day, and the monuments the following week. Stephen Keith is very pleasant, experienced and an owner, thus works hard to earn your business.

-Richard Park

I’m so thankful I came in contact with y’all. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your kindness and genuine care to make this perfect for us.

-Christie Clark

Went to Evergreen Cemetery yesterday to view the modifications to both sides of my headstone. Looks great. Thank you for the quality workmanship and timely service.

-Bob Watson

Very pleased with my stone. Great job!

-Durred and Linda Gardner

I just wanted to let you know that I love the monument. I went out the day it was placed, and it is beautiful. We are all pleased with it. Thank you so much.

-Barbara Colwell

It’s beautiful. Thank you!

-From Erik’s Family

Thank you, Wayne Pils!! From our first meeting to the placement of our mom and dad’s monument, you made the experience as smooth and as easy as possible for us. Your guidance helped us to design a perfect representation of our parents, the life they lived and of our love and admiration of them. Your accessibility and your regular updates kept us at ease throughout the entire process. I will recommend you and Keith Monument Company every opportunity.
