Headstone Markers Better Headstones was created to allow online ordering of high quality, yet afordable, hand crafted flat grave markers.

Our Story Pioneer Rock and Monument is a family business specializing in custom designed headstones and grave markers. "We take pride in fine art designs, affordable prices and caring service." We make each stone one at a time, with love. Dealing with the passing of a loved one is always hard. We just hope that we can help a little by making the process of marking a grave a little easier by treating customers with love, respect and friendliness. Pioneer Rock and Monument has been in business since 1985. We opened the business out of our garage, and saw a steady stream of orders. In 2002 the business moved into a new 2000 square foot shop, better able to handle the increasing business. In 2004 our son Ben joined the team. In 2007 we began selling stones through the Internet. Since then we've shipped headstones to three countries and forty-eight states. In 2011 our grandson Nick began learning the trade, making Pioneer Rock and Monument a family business consisting of three generations. Most monument shops are retailers, and do not manufacture the stones themselves. At Pioneer Rock and Monument, on the other hand, we make each stone in our own shop. Our shop is located in Goldendale, Washington, about 2 hours east of Portland, Oregon. We have had customers drive from as far north as Alaska, as far east as South Dakota and as far south as Las Vegas in order to purchase a stone from us. Careful study of the stones featured in our Gallery reveals a special skill and an artistic flare not seen in many other monument shops.
