My family needed a memorial engraving done for my father that involved an existing family headstone. We were seeking the best company for the task. I worked with Briana and the team at O'Rourke Brothers Memorials to devise an arrangement for the inscription within the constraints and style of the monument, and go over any other work that needed to be done. She explained all processes and requirements involved, offered valuable suggestions as to how our wishes could best be met, kept me informed of progress at each stage and sent pictures, and was very considerate of my family throughout. The stone was safely transported to and from their workshop, immaculately cleaned of years of deposits and moss, beautifully engraved as planned, and the base, which had shifted, was re-leveled on the grounds to complete things properly. I know my dad would appreciate everything they did. They also made an emotionally difficult process a little easier for us. They have earned my family's trust, respect, and deep gratitude. Much love to the team at O'Rourke Brothers Memorials.

Our Service Areas

O’Rourke Bros. Memorials and Abate Monuments proudly serve an expanding range of communities on the North Shore, including  Essex County and the surrounding areas. We respect and embrace diverse traditions and heritages, and our extensive knowledge extends to the local cemeteries and their specific rules and regulations. We also create memorials and commemorative plaques for private properties and various other locations

To begin, simply give us a call and we will guide you through the initial steps, including how to select a memorial and comply with cemetery regulations.

We’ll need details such as the loved one’s name, birth, and passing dates, as well as the name of the cemetery where the memorial will be installed or where the work is to be done. If you know the exact cemetery plot location, this is always helpful, but if you don’t, we can call the cemetery and get this for you.

We provide a wide variety of memorials, including traditional headstones, large family monuments, sculptures, bronze and granite markers, and pet markers. We offer domestic and imported granites in countless shapes and sizes, and each option can be personalized to suit your preferences and budget

You can also browse our portfolio for inspiration. In addition, please bring any photos, mementos, or other items that might be meaningful and influence the design.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the design, the approval process, and cemetery coordination. It typically takes 3-4 months from initial consultation to installation, but this can vary greatly depending on the time of year, weather, granite availability, the uniqueness or customized craftsmanship of the monument, and other factors.

We’re well-versed in local cemetery regulations and will handle the permit application process on your behalf, ensuring compliance with all guidelines.

Prices vary widely based on materials, size, and design complexity. We’ll provide you with a detailed and free quote after discussing your specific requirements.
