For nearly five decades, Wholesale Monument has been dedicated to the craft of memorialization—creating lasting tributes that honor life, legacy, and remembrance. Founded in 1976 and rooted in Mount Airy, North Carolina, the company was built on the belief that meaningful memorials require more than stone and skill—they require care, precision, and respect.
“From the beginning, this business was about doing things the right way,” says owner Darrell Beck. “When someone trusts you with a memorial, they’re trusting you with something that matters deeply. That responsibility has always guided how we work.”
Exceptional quality since 1976
What began as a commitment to quality craftsmanship has grown into a trusted wholesale partner serving memorial dealers across the country. Over the years, Wholesale Monument has completed tens of thousands of projects, worked in thousands of cemeteries, and supported dealers in dozens of states. Through every stage of growth, the focus has remained steady: producing dependable, well-crafted memorials while building long-term partnerships based on trust and consistency.
As a wholesale monument manufacturer, the company understands the role it plays behind the scenes. Dealers rely on Wholesale Monument not only for production, but for accuracy, communication, and follow-through—because every order reflects a family’s story and a dealer’s reputation.
“Our dealers count on us to be precise and consistent,” explains Vice President Rebekah Browder. “They need to know that when an order comes through, it will be handled with care, attention to detail, and respect for the family it represents.”
Wholesale Monument offers a comprehensive range of services, including monuments, markers, benches, large memorials, cremation products, pet memorials, custom designs, finishing options, and repair services. With a wide selection of materials, finishes, and customization options, the team works closely with dealers to help meet the unique needs of every family—whether the memorial is traditional, contemporary, or deeply personal.
Behind every memorial is a dedicated team of skilled professionals who take pride in their craft. Many team members have spent years working with stone, learning the nuances of carving, finishing, and production. Their experience, combined with modern techniques and technology, allows Wholesale Monument to deliver consistent quality while adapting to the evolving needs of the memorial industry.
“The people here truly care about the work they do,” says Beck. “That pride shows up in the details, in the way our team treats each project, and in the relationships we’ve built over the years.”
At the heart of Wholesale Monument are three guiding principles: precision, passion, and quality. These values shape daily operations, dealer partnerships, and long-term vision. They influence how projects are approached, how challenges are handled, and how trust is earned and maintained.
“We don’t rush memorials, and we don’t cut corners,” Browder adds. “Our goal is to be a partner dealers can rely on—someone who understands the weight of this work and treats it accordingly.”
Today, Wholesale Monument remains grateful for the trust placed in them by dealer partners and for the opportunity to contribute to meaningful memorials across communities. While the company continues to grow, its purpose remains unchanged: to serve with integrity, craftsmanship, and care—honoring lives through work they are proud to stand behind.
