Gabriel Pelaggi Monuments Customer Testimonials.

“Thank you for your kind words and feedback.
We value your loyalty very much.”
The Pelaggi Family.

I can’t thank you enough for your extraordinary effort in erecting the headstone for Virginia Frantz before her memorial service on Saturday, July 20. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.  The stone was perfect in every way, and having it in place for the service was a blessing.

Even Gate of Heaven was impressed with the timing!

We will be sending the remainder of the fee immediately.

Linda Weinstein

Dear Gabriel and Margaret,

We want to say what a beautiful job you did on our headstone. Thank you for having it done.

When you said you would. We heard many horror stories from other places.

You are a trustworthy business and a lovely couple to work with!

Thank you again. Happy holidays to you and your family 

Dottie and Bill Whittenbarger

Dear Margaret,

Before it gets too late and I forget, I wanted to thank you and your husband for the work you did to make my wife’s headstone the nicest one in Saint Teresa’s Cemetery. It certainly was not something I wished to buy, but since I had to, I am glad I chose you and your husband to do the work.

Again, thank you, and I hope you have a lovely holiday season.

Sincerely,
Bill Murphy

Dear Gabe and Margaret, you were wonderful to work with and your special talent with my design turned out perfectly.

Thank you for your help with a difficult task.

I am so very pleased with the outcome

Sincerely,
Barbara Brinkman

Good morning, Gabe,

I just called Margaret, but I also wanted to note you.  First and foremost, THANK YOU!  Thank you for making my dad’s headstone so beautiful, getting it in quickly, and giving my mom peace of mind before she leaves.  I cannot tell you how happy that made her.  She felt like he was “unknown” without a stone.  I know you explained how long it usually takes and that you’d try to finish it sooner, but that was all she could do. She feels so much better, I can’t tell you.  And aside from that – it’s beautiful.  Honestly, we could not have asked for more.  She went home last night and wrote out the check, and I am mailing it today.  Thank you again for everything.  

Sincerely,
Michele E. Shaffer

Margaret,

I wanted to thank you for all your help during this time. I’m touched that the monument could be completed earlier than anticipated and in time for the 1-year mark! The memorial looks terrific, and it is everything we have pictured. The image you emailed me was also wonderful to receive. Genuinely excellent service, and working with you made this process much more manageable. My mom is also pleased, so I’m grateful we could all agree on something perfect to commemorate my dad. Feel free to contact me with anything in the future. The remaining balance will be on the way shortly. Once again, I offer my sincerest gratitude for all of the assistance that went into this creation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Margaret,

I want to thank you and your husband so very much for the BEAUTIFUL stone that you created for my sister Patty. It befits her so well. It is personal, displaying her character and her love of animals. She would be as happy as I am with it. The dog and the cat are fabulous. Once the cemetery places it on its base, I will send a picture to my sister, who lives in NC, who will be just as pleased. Words could never adequately express my gratitude for your beautifully dignified work for our loved ones. Your compassion has only surpassed professionalism. From the bottom of my heart, Margaret, THANK YOU for your integrity and for taking pride in remembering those who have gone before us.

Dear Gabe and Margaret,

There are no words to tell you how magnificent your work is and how pleased and touched we were upon viewing Mark’s headstone for the first time.  Simply put, it is more beautiful than we could have imagined. The highest compliment I can give you is from our son Peter and his wife, Christine. They both agreed that Mark would have loved it. We find peace at the grave, seeing Mark’s smiling face and knowing he will be remembered for eternity as he was in life. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and help during our first moments of grief and your expert work.

Warm regards,
Bob and Cathy Relovsky, Hackettstown, NJ

Dear Margaret and Gabe,

I wanted to thank you both so much for your kindness and help. Margaret, you are always efficient, helpful, and understanding. Gabe, your artistry is excellent. You take pride in what you do, and it shows.

I can’t say enough how pleased our Family is with all your work on our family mausoleum! It’s beautiful- my parents would have been proud!

Fondly,
Mary Ann Ayars

Margaret,

I don’t know how to thank you guys enough.  Honestly, you guys make such a difficult time easier.  God truly puts people like you and Gabe into the lives of others to affect them positively during a negative period.  God bless and enjoy the weekend.

Thank you again!
Michele E. Shaffer

Gabe,
 
Thank you for everything you’ve done with the Bey stone. It is a beautiful piece of work. I don’t think we could ask for anything more. The picture shows the Turkish Consul General, Vice Consul, and Gene Pantalone, author of the book about Madame Bey’s boxing camp.
 
Thanks again,
Tom

Gabe and Margaret,

That looks fantastic! Thank you very much. It was a pleasure doing business with you! I have nothing but good things to say about your service.

Bill Mruk

Dear Gabe and Margaret,

I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your beautiful job on my husband’s monument. I want to especially thank you for going out of your way to help me design the memorial. All of you were always pleasant, cooperative, and honorable. You don’t find that too much in today’s world. Believe me, I will go out of my way to recommend your company and your family. I have heard (and seen) horror stories from people who have dealt with other monument companies. You were beautiful, and I felt at home working with all of you at this saddest time in my life.

Sincerely,
B. Pagani

Dear Gabriel and Margaret,

We just wanted to thank you for making our Dad’s monument exactly how he would have wanted it and to our specifications. Your work is impeccable!

Thank you,
Joseph Hart’s Family

Dear Gabriel and Margaret,

Thank you so very much. You made me cry.

What a beautiful stone you made for us. I will forever use and refer your services.

Again, it was your wonderful personality from back in 1998 that brought me back to using you for this monument.

Please send my thanks to your husband.

Respectfully,
Lori Mazzarella and Greg

Hello Margaret and Gabriel,

It has been over a month since we laid my brother to rest. Life was hectic before and then got hectic after.

I apologize for not writing sooner to thank you for your work at East Hanover Cemetery. You and Scott Lutz (and Father Matthew) made the sad occasion one in which we shared many happy family memories.

I know you were under a tight schedule, but you did it!

On behalf of the Nason family, I thank you very much.

Stay well,
Diane Nason

Mr. Pelaggi,

Just a note to let you know the stone you erected for my husband at Pleasant Hill cemetery was more than expected.

I love the black stone and what you helped me choose – the roses, the saying, and the printing were beautiful.

I am delighted with the excellent outcome. You do fine work and I would recommend you to anyone.

You are a master. Thank you again for your help in making this a little easier to handle.

D. Paige Flanders, NJ

Dear Pelaggi Family,

Our family would like to sincerely thank you for your concern and understanding in placing the stone before Easter.

We are so pleased with the quality and workmanship you put into the design… It is beautiful.

T. Franco and Family NJ

Pelaggi Monuments is extraordinary. They created a masterpiece for my parents.

My mom’s favorite flower, gardenias, went on the monument, and a perfect picture. The Pellaggi family waited over six months for us to decide what saying we wanted on the stone.

They were patient with our grief and family disharmony.

Diane Keys

I went to Pelaggi Monuments to order a headstone after the death of my dad.

Margaret showed me the different stones, styles, etc, and the corresponding prices -in a kind, efficient and professional manner.

We filled out the paperwork, and they sent me a drawing of what we had decided on- I okayed it- and it is now in Holy Cross Cemetery in Basking Ridge precisely as we ordered!

It looks gorgeous, and most importantly, my mom loves it.

Thank you, Margaret and her team.

The owners at Pelaggi Monuments are personable, accommodating, generous, and committed to the community.

As a Hanover Park High School teacher, twice their granite stonework has graced the school’s campus. On 5/3/24, The youngest member of the family, Gabe Pelaggi, an HPHS graduate, came to the school and personally handled the placement of solid granite footstones, which Pelaggi Monuments donated to the school. They rest under the giant cherry tree in the newly designed Purple Heart Recipient Garden that honors three alumni who perished in Vietnam in the 1960s.

Five years ago, Pelaggi Monument designed a gorgeous granite bench that the class of 2019 gifted to the school. It is located near the gymnasium. As class advisors, we didn’t have enough funds to cover the cost, and they graciously worked with us.

Personally, when I was describing to my parents last week how generous the Pelaggi’s have been, my father told me they engraved my grandpa’s gravestone back in 2004. Now with the youngest Gabe, Pelaggi Monuments is a 5th-generation family business, a testament to who they are and how they treat their customers and the community.

Pelaggi Monuments is Awesome!

I recently purchased a headstone for my Irish grandmother, who died nearly 50 years ago.

Since it was so long ago, the paperwork, etc., was no joke …but Pelaggi guided me patiently and professionally through that.

After that, I then saw the headstone installed (very fast). The craftsmanship and quality are incredible!

Very reasonable pricing, too.

Jack Hall

We went to Pelaggi Monuments after the passing of my father.

From the minute we walked in until the stone was placed, they were kind and professional.

Margaret helped us look through options from their book and provided us time alone to discuss, yet she was there for any questions we may have had.

Upon our decision, we were quoted three months until completion.

We were sent proof of our design as soon as the stone was ready.

I wanted to make a minor change and get their expert opinion, so I called and left a message for Gabe. He returned my call less than 24 hours later, on a Sunday.

We discussed my changes, and first thing Monday morning, I had a new proof in hand. The stone was completed shortly after my approval and almost three weeks shy of the 3-month quote.

The stone is beautiful, exactly what we wanted, and the process was smooth and quick.

I highly recommend Pelaggi Monuments.

We are delighted with Pelaggi Monuments’ service, especially at a difficult time when it’s not always easy to think clearly.

We appreciate your patience and help throughout. The memorial is just as I ordered and a fitting tribute to our parents, especially the etching and picture of my beautiful parents.

Thank you to all involved for your help during a difficult time for our family.

I am thrilled with the service from start to finish!

Darlene Borsella

Very easy to work with in choosing, ordering, delivering, and coordinating with Restland Cemetery for installation.

I am very happy to recommend Margaret (co-owner) as my contact. She was very kind, caring, knowledgeable, and efficient—a pleasure recommending Pelaggi Monuments in East Hanover, NJ.

J. David Bohri

I’m not sure who could be disappointed with Pelaggi Monuments!!!!!

My experience was nothing but professional and efficient. Margaret was indeed a delight to work with!!!

The finished stone was breathtaking, absolutely fantastic!!!

I highly recommend Pelaggi Monument!!!!

Vivian Massood

Pelaggi made our stones for my parents about 30 years ago, and it still look as beautiful today as it did back then. I am happy with their service.

Diana Marie Centro

In my time of grief, I wanted someone to be professional, compassionate, and caring.

I found Margaret Pelaggi to be all of those things.

Thank you, Margaret and Pelaggi MonumentS, for a beautiful experience.
