Binghamton-Johnson City

I have been trying to manage burying a family member from out of state in Broome County. The man that I dealt with was unable to help at all, UNTIL HE HAD PAYMENT. He would not even help me do this with out of state family members. He uses clip art - that he claims are "his property" and is about as cocky as a person could be. I think maybe he should toss out the drafting table (for show) and look into another line of work - where he is NOT dealing with people - especially those in emotional times.
If this was the only place to get these stones - I would go without!!!

Talk about squeezing the wallet of a weeping person. You are best to shop around. Look through the Rock of Ages smoke and mirrors. Give Broome Monuments a call, there service and bedside manner are excellent!

The stone I am ordering is still in process. The representative has been very helpful and understanding working with me to be sure I it is exactly what I want. My family experienced a lot of unhappiness with another company for the stone we purchased for my parents grave. Binghamton-Johnson City Monument Co. straightened out many problems we had at that time. That is why I have returned to them for this stone.

This monument company did what no other monument company did; they took their time with our family and explained all the options that could have possibly gone into creating a memorial for our father. They explained things to us easily and made us feel very comfortable with our purchase, a purchase that will forever be part of our family, on our sacred ground in our cemetery. We visited others monument salespeople before deciding to do business with Binghamton Johnson City Monuments and found that their quality and customer service far exceeded what I had seen at other area establishments. We highly recommend the Binghamton-Johnson City Monument Company.

PROS: Made a difficult thing to do easy
CONS: None that we can think of

I suggest any mourner wait a year before selecting their loved ones monument for their final resting place.
I also suggest pricing monuments at different places after you get specific information from the cemetery about the size, etc of the stone you will have erected.
Even though I purchased a nice headstone from this business I think back to the sales person who pushed the subject of different designs for the stone costing more money that I should not have spent.
The staff was pleasant enough but you could tell they were in it to make money .
I do have to say that this business did donate a monument to a little girl who was murdered by a sex offender in the area and whose parents couldn't afford a headstone for her grave.
Despite their charitable gift to this family I do believe that they can milk money out of elderly widows and others who have had sudden loss, without batting an eye.
This business isn't bad but just make sure that when you or a family member go to pick out a headstone you do your homework on prices before you get sucked in spending more than you can afford.
Once you add on engravings of crosses etc on the stone the price you pay goes up quite a bit.
