    Adorable elephants mark the border of the Showman's Rest part of the cemetery.
    Tim S.

    I visited this very unique place on a beautiful, early spring day. Hugo is known as Circus Town USA because two circuses winter here. This cemetery contains a very special part called Showman's Rest where circus folk are laid to rest. Their tombstones reflect their profession, some shaped like circus tents, others with touching inscriptions. I have never seen anything like it. It also hosts many rodeo and bull riding champions, even the original Marlboro Man is buried here. I truly enjoyed it.

    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.

    Though I never write reviews, my wife and I feel overly compelled to share our thoughts about Mykel…read moreLitterell and his staff at Bratcher's. Mykel and his staff were so quick to accommodate any of our needs as a family during the sudden loss of our father. Mykel and his team were diligent in making sure that every detail was tended to; he really went the extra mile. When you lose a loved one, challenges immediately exist, Mykel was able to guide us through some of the complicated decisions a family has to make. He promptly went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure we were able to make it through this most difficult and precious time. Mykel made sure that the outdoor funeral we knew my father wanted went off without a hitch (even in the rain). He was succinct in offering us guidance based on his experience with my father with respect to the choice of casket, stationary, and so much more. We highly recommend Bratcher's to anyone looking for help during such a challenging time. Losing loved ones is tough - having a professional team serve in such a delicate capacity helps tremendously. We are so grateful to have had Mykel and his staff enter our lives at such a sad time; words cannot express the gratitude we will forever have.

From the moment…read moreMykel and Brenda came to pick up our mother, they exhibited a sincere sympathy for our loss. They were very gracious when asked if we could have a few more minutes to be with Mom. Mykel and Brenda helped making arrangements for the funeral as painless as possible.

The Home was well prepared and Mom looked beautiful! Mykel and Brenda, as well as the staff, are very kind and considerate! I am so very glad we chose Bratcher. They did an fantastic job!
