When my mother died, I needed to get engraving work done on a stone that the family had bought…read moreyears ago after our father had died. I needed to add Mom's death date, get some repairs done on the stone, and have a design added. Some Paris relatives had heard good things about Grace Monuments so I gave them a call. Erin was very helpful and patient and kind to me. I live out of town and had no idea where the stone was or even the name of the graveyard. She found the stone for me and even sent me pics of it in my email to help me figure out what I wanted done. I initially thought I'd like an angel engraving done and she sent me lots of angel designs, but eventually I decided on the Ten Commandment tablets to match the words "Follow the ten commandments" which had been engraved when Dad died. Richard worked meticulously on the design. He told me that when he does work on older stones, he strives to make it look like it was done when the stone was originally ordered. He also helped correct a mistake that another monument company had made on the stone years earlier. I am so pleased with the results! I was also impressed with the care that was taken to help me decide what I wanted. We exchanged many emails and talked on the phone several times before I made up my mind. Mine was a small job, just a little bit of engraving, but I felt like my ideas and my requests were just as important to them as somebody who perhaps had bought a whole stone. The journey was actually quite healing, the deciding what design to have engraved, the waiting for the work to be done, seeing the finished product, feeling so proud of what I accomplished for my mother, knowing that she would like it. If Grace Monuments hadn't been so kind and so patient and so respectful, or if they had botched the job as the original monuments company had, it would have been a much more painful process for me. They took good care of me, though. I feel like they took good care of my Mom. She would be very proud of her stone.

But to each their own and art is subjective. The Evergreen Cemetery is a lawn style though a few trees have been allowed to grow large. The ground is well maintained and closely mowed with most of the markers intact and standing upright. There is some room for vehicles but not much so I would recommend care if you are here on a weekend when there might be a funeral underway. [Review 726 of 2024 - 486 in Texas - 21757 overall]

That being said, this did make a cool stop on our trip after visiting the retired circus elephants at Endangered Ark Foundation. We went at night so it was definitely spooky and to be honest I was mostly concerned about spiders and other critters as stuff was a little overgrown at the time we went. We didn't stay long, about half an hour, but it was really cool to walk around and check out the unique headstones. It definitely my mind churn with all the ideas of who these people were and what type of lives they lead. All in all, if you're passing through Hugo it's definitely worth the stop!

So if you are in the Hugo area or down to visit the Elephant sanctuary, stop by. You will enjoy the history.
