The same address, the same craft, three generations of the same family. Most businesses don't last twenty years. We've been doing this since before the Korean War.
Cherokee Monuments has stood at 930 Harlow Ave since 1941 — before the bypass, before the mall, before most of the cemeteries we serve today had their second row of graves.
Three generations have worked this stone. We do not subcontract. We do not rush. When a family approves a design proof, they know exactly what the finished monument will look like before a single tool touches the granite.
We have set monuments in over forty cemeteries across Spalding, Pike, Lamar, Butts, and Henry counties. If your family is from here, there is a good chance we have served someone you knew.
Cherokee Monuments opens at 930 Harlow Ave in Griffin. The shop focuses on local families in Spalding County, cutting Georgia gray granite for traditional upright monuments.
The founders' family continues the work. The shop expands to serve Pike, Lamar, and Butts counties. Companion monuments become a growing part of the business.
Cherokee adds US-cast bronze plaques and deepens its veterans marker service — filing VA applications and handling installation without charge to families.
Still at 930 Harlow Ave. Still doing every monument in-house. Still the shop your parents called when they needed a stone done right. And still here when you need us.
We draw a scaled proof — lettering, emblem, shape — and put it in front of you before a single tool touches the granite. If something needs to change, we change it. No extra charge. No attitude.
The monument will be in the cemetery for a hundred years. Getting the proof right takes a day. That trade is obvious.
We install monuments in cemeteries across Spalding, Pike, Lamar, Butts, and Henry counties. We handle all permits, coordinate with cemetery staff, and photograph the finished installation.
If you are not sure whether we serve your cemetery, call us. We almost certainly do.
