IN HOUSE

We sandblast and laser-engrave all of our monuments, giving us complete control over quality, detail, and turnaround time. Sandblasting delivers deep, bold lettering that stands the test of time, while precision laser engraving allows for crisp artwork, fine text, and intricate designs. Because every step is handled under our roof, we can ensure consistency, customization, and careful craftsmanship on every monument—no outsourcing, no shortcuts, just clean, professional results built to last.

Questions to ask

Do you do all engraving in-house, or is any of it outsourced?
Do you sandblast, laser engrave, or use both? When do you choose each method?
How do you handle fine details, portraits, or custom artwork?
Who prepares the layout and proof, and can I review it before engraving?
How do you correct mistakes if something goes wrong during engraving?
Do you apply paint or lithochrome, and how long is it expected to last?
Can I see examples of stones you’ve completed recently, not just photos?
What is the typical turnaround time from approval to installation?
Do you offer any workmanship or engraving guarantees?

I can’t say enough good things about Hardy Memorials in Greenfield, Ohio. From the moment I walked in, the friendly staff made me feel completely at ease during what could have been an overwhelming process. The owner was just as warm and approachable, taking the time to listen and offer his suggestions to my ideals on the design with the two other girls.

They were incredibly helpful and patient as we worked together on the design. I had a clear vision, and they brought it to life—then went above and beyond with thoughtful suggestions and multiple rounds of edits until every detail was exactly what I wanted. The final design is beautiful, meaningful, and a perfect reflection of my wishes.

If you’re looking for compassion, expertise, and true craftsmanship, Hardy Memorials is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Elayna Ison was a very pleasant phone receptionist at Hardy Memorials. She was kind, informative and very helpful in my need to get an engraving done on an existing greenfield OH marker for my grandmother.

Hardy Memorials did a wonderful job with my father's gravesite. They were easy to work with, provided designs to choose from the same day, and the stone turned out beautifully. Hardy Memorials even fixed and reset the military marker that had been damaged. I would highly recommend them !

These are just a few of the happy customers we have served

History

Since 1875 there has been a monument company at 535 North Washington Street. Hardy Memorials lineage is directly traced to The Greenfield Monument Company which was founded by Grover C. Sellers in 1895. Following his death in 1899, his son James H. Sellers took over the business. Along with his son Lyman H. Sellers, the company operated as James H. Sellers & Son from early in the century until 1952. It was at this time that David Hardy bought the company from Lyman Sellers after apprenticing with him shortly after World War II. David E. Hardy owned and operated the company until 1982. He continued to be actively involved with Hardy Memorials until he died in 2011.

At Hardy Memorials, you will find a large selection of monuments and markers made from granite that is quarried from sources all around the world. In addition to granite, you may choose from marble and bronze to make your monument. The large display always includes different shapes, finishes, and sizes in all price ranges. In addition to the display, we are always ready to help our customers in personalizing their monuments. We can encompass unique designs and lettering to make their memorial special. Our customers also have the advantage of designing their monument right infront of them with our designer.

Although rooted in the past, we have kept stride with the changes in the industry. In 1989, Hardy Memorials was one of the first companies in the state to begin using computers to lay out our monuments. We also have offered laser and hand etchings on black granite for several years. These processes allow more precise and intricate personalization of your monument. Hardy Memorials uses sandblast and pneumatic tools daily in memorial production. We design, engrave and finish 100% of our memorials in our Greenfield location. You are never a number on a work order at Hardy Memorials.

Service is a large part of our job. We engrave dates and do modifications to existing monuments. We have repaired and re-set over one thousand monuments in area cemeteries since 1982.

At Hardy Memorials, we try to make each memorial as if it were our own. In this way, we can assure you of the highest quality
