I can't say enough nice things about the people who work here. Everyone is pleasant and professional. I ordered 3 marble stones and 2 bronze and the marble stones were done very quickly. The 2 bronze are made by an outside company and will take more time. They are also going to inscribe names and dates on an existing monument. I found the cost reasonable and the people exceptional. Thank -you Nolan's for your help. I will be ordering two more markers and a granite headstone in the near future. read more

We hired them to make a grave stone for our loved one. Within 1 year the lettering became impossible to read. It took 2 years and numerous phone calls to have the stone corrected. Yes it was during Covid however they were doing business and all of the work needed to be done would have been done outdoors with no one else present. Very disappointed with service read more

These people are wonderful. I had an odd request in that I needed a stone made for my great grandmother and her son, who died in 1944 and 1945. They had been left in an unmarked grave at a cemetery in CT. They were so kind as they listened to my story. I live in Texas and am going home in a few days. They were able to get the stone ready this summer, and had it ready and at the grave this afternoon. I was able to stop down and see it for myself today! It was beautiful!!! I can't thank them enough, and highly recommend them. read more

We got exactly what we wanted. Our parents died within 283 days of each other. We hadn't gotten a chance to breathe, let alone choose our mother's monument, when our dad died. I didn't know where to begin. It's not something I can buy online, like books. I don't know pricing on headstones, or what to look for. I have never been in a position to need to purchase one before, and it was horrible. I was gently guided to Nolan's Hamden Monument, who made this rotten job as easy as they could. One morning by appointment (I needed to be sure I got to work on time), I was walked through different stones, different styles, different choices. I started to cry, and was consoled, which was very much appreciated. This isn't an ordinary shopping trip, you know. Furthermore, my brother doesn't live nearby, so I had to to this final task alone. It was up to me to choose the stone upon which my brother and I would memorialize our beloved parents. We discussed size, and time frames, and prices. Over the next several months, my brother and I worked within these parameters, and with the text of what we wanted. Nolan's Hamden Monument provided me with a chart of Hebrew letters and corresponding numbers so that there would be no doubt as to which letter[s] I wanted. After the Rabbi proofed my work, I was able to complete the job with my brother. We took the task very seriously, and worked hard to personalize it. We needed to create something that our parents would have loved (not too "busy," yet pointing out their best qualities), and tweaked it as far as we could. When he and I were satisfied, we sent in our final sketch, and Nolan responded with a formal layout. I couldn't stop staring at it. We placed the order. A few days before the unveiling ceremony, Mr. Nolan phoned to let me know that, as per my request, the stone had been veiled. Mr. Nolan obviously hoped we would be happy with his work, but I detected genuine excitement in his wish to have pleased us. The unveiling ceremony was as lovely as it could have been under the circumstances (which, obviously, were that our parents weren't there). Neither my brother nor I had been to the cemetery since our father had passed away, and therefore hadn't seen the stone prior to the ceremony. Even looking through the veil, we could tell that Nolan had followed our specs. When we had removed the veil, we saw that we'd gotten just what we had hoped. Our parents always thought that their kids are wonderfully artistic. Our mom also specifically liked my typesetting layouts of office forms, business cards, and the like. My brother and I put our hearts and souls into this. I am incredibly proud of what he and I designed, especially knowing that our parents would love our teamwork and our testament to them. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give 10+ for the beautiful monument displayed on my mom's final resting place. I praise God for the recommendation of the funeral home. What an awesome staff, loving, caring, professional and so very patient. Nolan's Hamden Monument Co. exceeded our expectations, stayed within our budget and I can't say enough about the customer service. After meeting in person the day following my mom's funeral, we communicated via email and phone since I live out of town. My family and I were very comfortable conducting business with Mr. Nolan and employees. I have to give kudos to Rosemary since most of my communication was with her. She made me feel so at ease and I felt at peace. How many times I was told not to worry, we just want to do all we can to make you happy. My family and I are extremely happy. My mom deserved so much and thanks to Mr. Nolan and staff, we were able to give her that and so much more. read more
