On-Site Inscriptions & Monument Restoration
Our bond with your family continues long after the initial dedication. We provide comprehensive mobile cemetery services to ensure your family's monuments remain accurate, beautiful, and preserved for generations.
Final Dates & Added Inscriptions
When the time comes to update an existing family monument, there is no need to remove or transport the stone. Our specialized mobile team comes directly to the cemetery to expertly engrave final dates, new names, or additional text on-site, perfectly matching the original lettering style and font.
Restoration & Cleaning
Over time, exposure to nature can cause headstones to lose their original luster. We offer professional, monument-safe cleaning services that come directly to the cemetery site. Our team carefully removes years of weathering, moss, lichen, and stubborn hard water buildup, restoring the stone's original brilliance and ensuring the engravings remain clear and sharp without damaging the granite.
Our Story
A Foundation Built on Service
The story of Rico’s Memorial Stones didn't begin in a showroom, but in the disciplined environment of the United States Military. It was there, while stationed in Germany, that our founder first met Co-Owner David Glass. Bonded by their service and a shared commitment to excellence, a lifelong partnership was forged, one built on the values of integrity, duty, and precision.
From a Garage to Three Locations
After returning home, the dream began small. With little more than a set of tools and a passion for craftsmanship, Rico started the company in his home garage. He believed that every family deserved a beautiful, lasting tribute, regardless of their budget.
What started as a one-man operation fueled by grit and a veteran’s work ethic has since grown into a regional leader. Today, Rico’s Memorial Stones Inc. proudly serves our communities across three dedicated locations, bringing the same "garage-born" hustle and military precision to every project we touch.
Our Mission: Quality Without Complexity
At Rico’s, we’ve stripped away the high-pressure sales and confusing markups often found in the monument industry. Our philosophy is straightforward:
Simple Process: We guide you through every step so you never feel overwhelmed.
Affordable Prices: Honor shouldn't be a financial burden; we provide options for every family.
High-Quality Work: We use only the finest granites and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure your legacy stands the test of time.
"We served our country with honor; now, we consider it our highest honor to serve your family."
