About Us
Our dedicated staff at Heritage Monuments, LLC assists families in creating personalized memorials, headstones or gravesite markers that will be a permanent tribute for their loved ones. It is our honor to work with families providing them with all the information needed to make an informative decision catered to their wishes. Each cemetery memorial we create receives the same attention as if it were being built for a member of our own family. We take pride in designing the highest quality memorials for families. With seven different locations in the Lancaster County area, our team can provide families the flexibility of setting appointments at their convenience.
When you purchase a memorial to commemorate a life lived, a historical event or major achievement, you are purchasing something that is designed to last hundreds of years. Many families choose to design their own memorial, creating a distinct and personalized remembrance. Family photos, etchings of a favorite hobby, verses or poems can all been incorporated into headstones and gravesite monuments. A memorial purchase should be planned and thought out. It is our commitment to help families through the grieving process and to tell the story of a loved one. At Heritage Monuments, we pride ourselves as a monument company that provides caring service, with years of experience and a great reputation, so your memorial will always be a source of family heritage, history and legacy.
Heritage Monuments, LLC was founded in 1985. From 2000, Heritage Monuments had been operated by Sue Snyder Bleacher, the daughter of Charles F. Snyder, Sr. until January 2020. Our beloved family member Sue Snyder Bleacher passed away in February 2020.
