Shevchenko Monuments was recommended to me by Micheal at MT. Calvary cemetery in Linden NJ. He said they were the best in the business. And he was correct. I called and spoke to Denise who took all of my information and said she would get back to me in about 1 week with the permit. It took only 1 week. A great start to doing business with them. I paid for the engraving with my banks ebill. That was on 10/28 and the message I got from my bank was they would have the money by 10/30. I put all of my information so they would know it was from me. I called on Friday 10/31, and Denise said nothing had come in but offered to check. Both Denise and Kathy (the owner) worked tirelessly to find the money and today Monday 11/03 I received a call from Denise saying Kathy found the money in their business account. Their professionalism, integrity and genuine concern for their clients is why you should call Shevchenko Monuments LLC. I recommend them 100%! Sincerely Felix O. Ramirez read more

I cannot thank the people at Shevshenko Monuments enough! They've been an absolute please to work with. Not only is everyone I've encountered there caring and attentive, but their attention to detail cannot be beat. They found typos in Hebrew (without speaking the language, by the way!) after I had already signed off that all was correct. They called, asked me to get back to them when it was convenient, and ALWAYS made me feel that they really cared and wanted to make sure my mother's inscription was PERFECT. VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO LONNIE (for all your time, texts and emails), JOHNNY (who I believe caught the typo!) AND CATHY (for your sympathy and kindness--- especially during my in-person meltdown) and to you all for your professionalism. I cannot imagine any other monument service being as efficient and compassionate as Shevshenko. THANK YOU for getting this job completed on time, as promised! VERY SINCERELY, Debbie C. read more

Shevchenko Monuments was beyond exceptional from beginning to end during the whole process of planning my Mom's headstone. Cathy, Lonnie, Chelsea & Denise couldn't have been more helpful. This was our first experience in planning a funeral and finding a final resting place for our beloved Mother. As the weeks turned to months, I had one request that if at all possible, the stone was in place for Mother's Day. We were about a week away from Mother's Day and it wasn't looking too promising. When I stressed to Cathy the importance to our family that it be there for our first Mother's Day without our Mom, she promised me that she will do everything she can to make it happen....and she did! Two days before Mother's Day, in the rain, it was installed! They made a very difficult situation smooth and the end result was over and above our expectations. Shevchenko Monuments, a family-run business, treats you like family. read more

I cannot express enough how professional this family owned business is. They contacted us through out the process to let us know when the headstone would be placed and completed that alone was a great feeling that they cared so much . We were not around the corner . We are 2 hrs from where the cemetery is located and the headstones would be placed. My family has used Shevchenko Monuments unfortunately since my Grandparent's passing. Our Brother and Mother within the last 5 years. We recently went to St Vladimir Cemetery this December and saw the work they did on both our mother and Brothers headstone . The one of my brother was absolutely breath taking IT BROUGHT TEARS TO OUR EYES the photo we had sent them captured our brother beautifully. read more

"OUTSTANDING" I had a unique problem with my Moms' head stone which was on her grave since 1941 and had sunk significantly and was most dirty and unreadable. I have spent 40some years trying to find someone which would help me correct the problems. No one would touch the job. I live out of town where the cemetery is located. I'm now 88 years young and dreaded the thought of leaving this world with the headstone in such a deplorable condition. I met with Lonnie, he understood the urgency. He said he would take care of it immediately. In 4 days Cathy sent me a photo of the stone. it was briilliantly shining and raised. My bucket is now empty. Ask Lonnie about the experience. He has my permission to tell this tale without my name. read more

After the death of my Mother, I wanted to put my trust in a great company to make her a bronze plaque. I live in Philadelphia but my mother is buried in New Jersey. After calling many different places, there was something about Lonnie that made me want to go with Shevchenko. His honesty and compassion was what got me. It wasn't about money with them, it was about the quality of the product I would receive. After the plaque was done (in a very timely manner, despite the pandemic) I was in awe of the amazing work that they did. My Mom's picture was beautifully done. Everything about the plaque was great. I definitely recommend this monument company! read more

I am incredibly grateful to Lonnie and Cathy for their compassion and professionalism during such a difficult time. They listened carefully to everything i asked for and made sure every detail was just right. The service was quick, but never felt rushed and they kept me updated throughout the entire process, which was truly appreciated. They even worked with the cemetery to repair my Dad's Veteran's footstone. The final result was beautiful and done with such care. I have gotten so many compliments from the family. I highly recommend them to anyone. Not only are they exceptional business owners, they are exceptional people !!! read more

I read so many reviews when I finally came across Shevchenko. Eureka! My search was over. I called & initially spoke to Denise. She was exactly who I needed! From the get-go, I was impressed with how thoughtful & helpful she was. She contacted the cemetery for their requirements & based on that, she made beautiful & appropriate suggestions. She told me what to expect every step of the way. If she told me she'd call me, she did. On a few occasions, I got to speak with Cathy & was equally impressed. I feel so blessed to have found the entire Shevchenko family. My parents are being well honored & I am eternally grateful. read more

I was returning to Metuchen NJ to intern the ashes of my mother who had passed away in May of 2020. The delay in returning was due in part to the COVID epidemic and also my reluctance to travel by air from California until now. I conducted the business of having Shevchenko Monuments add the date of my mother's passing to the headstone that already had my father's dates. Kathy from Shevchenko Monuments handled the arrangements via phone calls from California. I was quite satisfied with the end result and feel secure in recommending their services to anyone requiring a headstone with the requisite inscriptions. read more

I used Shevchenko for my father's headstone and was extremely pleased with their beautiful craftsmanship and level of service. One thing that stood out to me was their sense of empathy towards our family. During our initial meeting, they gifted my mother with a bible. At the end of the meeting, the gentleman who accompanied us to my father's burial site, also said a prayer in my father's honor. Given how heartbroken my family & I were over my father's sudden passing, these gestures truly meant a lot to us. I would highly recommend Shevchenko for both their craftsmanship and level of service. read more

A+ in my book! After a displeasurable experience with another area monument company, I was so happy to get the assistance in the manner I was hoping for. I was more than pleased with the customer service from the Shevchenko team, especially Chelsea who helped me so much! The process of stone design, order and stone craftsmanship skills are superior to most others in the area. They are a family owned company for many years and the pride shows with the care and expertise they provide. I am very happy with the completed stone. Highly recommend you will not be disappointed! read more

Bottom Line up front- I received five different estimates along with pictures of their designs and Shevchenko was the highest estimate of the five. I chose Shevchenko because Denise actually took the time to read my Mom's obituary and provide me a design that captured my Mom even down to the flowers she put on the marker which were Lilies of the Valley, a flower my Mom loved. I was amazed and could not have asked for a better design. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. Dealing with Denise was a an absolute pleasure under the circumstances. read more

I found Shevchenko Monuments on the web. Cathy and Lonnie sounded real professional over the phone. We needed a number of headstones renewed after some storms. Our New York & Arizona & California families received excellent service & price & the work was done to our satisfaction. They are based in Perth Amboy but Lonnie, Cathy & staff did the repairs, etc. in our family plots in Staten Island, New York. I would highly recommend them since they are very helpful, dependable and trustworthy. Thanks again Cathy and Lonnie. Judy M. read more

I called Shevchenko Monuments for a stone for my mother. From the moment I spoke to this company they have been thoughtful, friendly, kind and courteous. Above all there follow up with me throughout the process was always timely. They helped me choose an appropriate stone, wording and placement of certain wording and decorative pieces on the stone. They worked with the cemetery to make sure everything was done in a timely fashion. I highly recommend them if you are in need for this type of service. Thank you! Eric Bleiweis read more

I don't usually provide reviews online - but, in this case I have to make an exception. Thinking about my involvement with Cathy & Lonnie at Shevchenko Monuments, one word says it best - Professionals. From my initial meeting with them, through the entire design process, the fabrication process, and the final placement of the completed monument everything was handled in a professional manner which made this sorrowful task easier to facilitate. THANK YOU, Cathy, Lonnie, and all the Shevchenko Monuments Team - Chris P. read more

We recently visited Shevchenko Monuments to order a grave marker. Our emotional state was, to say the least, delicate. We were treated with kindness, deference and sincere sympathy by Cathy and Lonnie, despite having met them for just the first time. We could not have asked for more at what was for us, and continues to be, a very difficult time. The grave marker we ordered was beautifully crafted and the price was more than fair, but what will remain with us forever is how caring Cathy and Lonnie are as people. read more

I never thought I would have to pick a monument my mom so soon but making our choice to go with Shevchenko was the best choice. We picked a beautiful black stone with double hearts and it took quite some time to get due to Covid but we understood. Just last week my mom's stone finally arrived and the photos do it no justice. My mom would have loved it! Thank you so much for all your help and support when we needed it the most. For anyone needing the best for their loved one go to Shevchenko. read more

We contacted Shevchenko for a headstone after both of our parents died recently. The workmanship, the quality of the stone and the professionalism was outstanding. We have never seen a more beautiful headstone. Others that have visited their loved ones have approached us at the cemetary and have commented on how beautiful the color, print and pictures of the etchings. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone and would like to Thank them for making our parents resting place so beautiful. read more

went to them end of March after waiting a year with another co who could not even tell me where on the wait list I was. This company was amazing so thoughtful, friendly, professional and I made the switch. I knew I was going to wait but but literally 64 days later my mother's stone is engraved and she can rest peacefully and I am beyond satisfied. so if you are seeking a company for engraving cemetery stones or purchasing a stone. make it Shevchenko and you will NOT be disappointed read more
