Our company was founded in the year 1909, by George W. Nelson & his brother Percy Nelson at Lower Cape in Albert County, New Brunswick (near the famous Hopewell Cape Rocks). The Nelson brothers initially set up their business in an old church, with the showroom and offices at the front of the building and the manufacturing facilities at the back.

Monuments Album 1
Report
Lettering detail from the inset plaque on the William Ian DeWitt Hutt monument. Back of stone with maple leaves & a picture of the SEGUIN family maple sugaring operations. This lot had several graves with old burials that had never been marked with a monument. The stone was erected in 2013 by a descendant and commemorates his parents and identifies the other family members buried in these old graves.
Restoration Work
Report
This bench was imported from Italy by Mrs. Timothy Eaton and it was broken and sitting in pieces when we were asked to do the restoration. At some point in time the bench was painted white, but under all the paint, was a gorgeous piece of pink Italian marble. We repaired the broken pieces, cleaned off the paint and repolished the bench to it's original splendor.
Cemetery Regulations
Report
All cemeteries in Ontario are required to have a set of Bylaws or Rules & Regulations that must be filed with the Ontario Cemetery Registrar's office. Some Bylaws are very simple, while others are very complex. In most cemeteries, you cannot simply put up whatever you want. You have to play by the rules set out in the bylaws or regulations.
