Custom Memorials

At Thompson Plageman Memorials, we've been helping families create beautiful, lasting tributes for over 60 years. As a local, family-owned monument maker serving Columbus and all surrounding communities, we understand that each memorial tells a unique story and deserves careful attention and skilled craftsmanship.

We're proud members of the Monuments Builders National Association and bring decades of experience to every project. Our commitment includes double-processed wording for exceptional clarity and durability, and we don't charge per letter on the front of monuments, making it easier for you to say what truly matters. If you're ready to create a meaningful tribute for your loved one, please contact us today.

Bench memorials offer a serene and functional way to remember someone special while providing a peaceful place for reflection. We'll work closely with you to design a bench that captures your loved one's personality and creates a welcoming space where family and friends can gather. Each bench is crafted with quality materials and personalized details that honor their memory.

If you need to add a date, inscription, or special message to an existing monument, our cemetery engraving services provide the precision and care your family deserves. We use advanced techniques to ensure every letter and symbol is clear and lasting. Our engraving work seamlessly matches the original monument, maintaining its beauty while adding meaningful details.

Cremation Urns

Choosing a cremation urn is a deeply personal decision, and we offer a thoughtful selection to suit different preferences and styles. From classic designs to contemporary options, each urn can be personalized with engravings that celebrate your loved one's life. We'll help you find the perfect vessel that provides comfort and honors their memory with dignity.

Double-Monument Headstones

Double-monument headstones allow couples or family members to rest together under one beautiful memorial. These monuments can be customized with designs, images, and inscriptions that represent your shared history and love. We'll guide you through the design process to create a lasting tribute that honors both individuals while reflecting their bond.

Grave Markers & Slants

Grave markers and slants provide a distinctive memorial option that's both elegant and affordable. These markers lie at an angle, making inscriptions easy to read while adding visual interest to the gravesite. We'll help you select the right size, material, and design elements to create a marker that beautifully commemorates your loved one's life and legacy.

Memorial Accessories

The right accessories can add personal touches that make a memorial truly special. We offer vases, emblems, photo ceramics, and other decorative elements that complement your monument perfectly. These thoughtful additions allow you to express individuality and create a gravesite that feels warm and inviting for visitors.

Pet Headstones & Memorials

Pets hold a special place in our hearts, and they deserve to be remembered with the same care and respect. Our pet headstones and memorials can be customized with your pet's name, dates, and even images or paw prints. We understand the bond you shared and we'll help you create a touching tribute to your faithful companion.

Single-Monument Headstones

Single-monument headstones offer a timeless way to honor an individual life with grace and permanence. We provide a wide range of shapes, sizes, and design options to reflect your loved one's unique personality and story.
