How to Choose a Monument

Our 3-Step Process Makes it Easier.

Buying a monument is a personal and permanent decision. Often it’s the final step during a trying time. We understand the overwhelm and apprehension, so we developed our proven 3-step process to guide you. Our clients have found that designing and a headstone can actually be a pleasant and memorable experience.

Story. During this little journey we get to know your loved one through your eyes, when you share their story.
Design. Your design will begin to take shape as we walk you through your choices. We discuss your budget alongside the discoveries we made together in the first step. One goal is to inspire the many memories held within for those visiting your loved one.
Order. When the final decisions are made, we will order the granite you choose and take it from there. We do all engravings in our facility and contact you when we’re finished.

Wilen Monument engraves many forms of stone for your memorials, family monuments, grave markers and infant stones. We use traditional granite tablets, slants, bevels, flat markers, also natural boulders and stones. These are placed as headstones, footstones, garden and landscape stones, pet markers & memorials for someone or something dear to us. Wilen Monument (Cemetery Services) has been serving the South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana & North Dakota Areas since 1986.

Remember Those Lost With A Unique Monument

When someone passes on in our lives, it can be brutal to move on from the pain and the hurt suffered from our loss. However, the passing of someone can be marked instead with commemoration of their life and success in this world. Using a headstone, marker or natural gravestone can be the perfect way to create a permanent memorial of their life, ensuring they are never forgotten or lost in the hands of time. Your creation of a memorable and unique monument in a location to visit and reminisce is a powerful way to give yourself strength in darker times.

Save Memories of those Special People

A monument is the perfect way to have a meaningful resting place for the person who has passed on. It’s an expression of what they meant to you, and others, marking the perfect way to remember and celebrate the life and achievements that they enjoyed while they were here.

It’s the little things that make all the difference when it comes to leaving a fitting memento. Moving on from losing someone is hard, and having a good memorable experience and haven to goto and remind yourselves of who they were, can be a powerful way to give yourself strength in darker times. A visit to your monument purchased in Belle Fourche can be the perfect place for comfort, inspiration and reflection.
