What Our Clients Say
"I have to say that I am extremely pleased with the work they did for us. My mom's head stone was absolutely perfect. Very nice and professional and seems like they truly care for there customers. I would highly recommend this company."
Samantha Wester
"These guys are great. Even though I was a walk-in, Kyle and Ryne both took the time to sit down with me and pick out a headstone design for my father. It was a very personal experience that left me feeling like more than just another customer. Highly recommend."
Rip Bussey
"I cannot say enough positive things about Kyle Gillespie and his business! After being disappointed with the selection our cemetery had for grave markers (and their prices!) we decided to look elsewhere and that's when we found Gillespie Marble. I am so thankful we did! From selection to price and then our final product, I could not be more happy with our decision!! He exceeded every expectation we had in every aspect of this process. Thank you, Gillespie Marble!!"
Jessica Bird
"Kyle was extremely helpful right off the bat and was able to quote me a good range of what the cost would likely be. Kyle gave me a 90 day window to completion and ended up having the stone installed in under 60 days. The stone is more than we hoped for. Our expectation were certainly exceeded. I highly recommend Gillespie Marble and Granite Works."
