Yankton Monument Company, 325 Douglas Ave, Yankton, SD 57078, US

HistorySince our inception in 1982, Family Memorials by Gibson has extended its family operation to a third generation - Scott and Mary's sons & daughter, Tony, Michael & Maria, have taken on roles at the company as office manager, apprentice stone carver, and head artist respectively. In addition, Scott currently runs the shop, manages inventory and occasionally lends a hand carving in the shop. Each family member's function has proven important to the job. The elder Gibson's have become mentors and teachers, passing down their focus on family values and Christian ethics. Likewise, the younger Gibson's are valuable additions, bringing new ideas and differing viewpoints to the team. With family members so actively involved, the business is refreshingly personal, especially in an age where mega-companies are taking over many areas of the retail and wholesale marketplaces.SpecialtiesAt Family Memorials By Gibson we work with families who are going through one of the toughest times in their lives. We help them capture their memories and tell their stories in stone. We are a third generation local family-owned business and we pride ourselves on the superior quality we produce. We are honored to work closely with families to develop a custom, one-of-a-kind monument to their loved ones that will remain standing for centuries to come. We do most of our work with sandblasting machines as well as a laser etching machine. We can also provide other services such as stone cleaning and resetting, house numbers, pet markers, landscape stones, and more.
