I wanted to say how pleased my family and I were with the service we received from Ottawa Laurin Monuments and in particular from Patrick OShaughnessy. He helped us determine the best monument for my parents grave and did so very effectively and efficiently. He willingly provided us with multiple samples as we changed our minds or thought of new ideas. He then dealt with the cemetery in Metcalfe on our behalf ensuring everything was handled seamlessly. We are very grateful to have had Patrick walk us through the process in such a kind and thoughtful manner. I highly recommend Laurin Monuments

This was the best of a worst expereince our family ever had. As hard as it is to pick a stone, engraving and anything else associated with death, Patrick at Laurin Monuments was kind, caring and so generous with his time. He made sure the family understood what we could expect. The work was done beautifully just as we wanted and Patrick also told us all the pros and cons of what we were asking for. Effective and exceptional work and throw in the kindness, caring and compassionate care we received made it all a much tolerable situation. Can not thank you enough.

Excellent stonework and customer service. Patrick was very helpful. He was able to incorporate all of our ideas & wishes for our Mother's headstone, and suggest some very good enhancements/design ideas. They met timelines for construction, and were very proactive in managing the delays for installation due to Covid restrictions. We were always kept up to date, with photos of the proof and the finished monument. Pricing was very reasonable and the quality was outstanding. Very responsive to any inquiries along the way. Professional work all around. The stone looked even better than we expected.
