“I had purchased a granit gravestone and had my deceased daughters picture engraved on it, from Westchester Memorials in Hawthorne, NY. It was delivered in excellent conditions to Ellenville, NY. In just the first couple of days of it's delivery I had many compliments on it. It's one of the most beautiful stones in this cemetary. I will attempt to download a pic of it below. (Having a bit of trouble doing so)“

“Travis Monuments have been so good to my family. Our experience with them was as early as 2011 and more recently in 2025. The care and attention they put in the carving and calligraphy as well as helping us decide on the type of stone really has touched our hearts. The calligraphy was not easy--yet they made it happen. There is grace in this. My father's and my mother's monuments are so beautiful.Simple, full of grace. Both are exquisite. Looking at these brought us so much solace.
With gratitude, Maniza Naqvi“

“The owners, Patrick McNulty Sr. and his son Patrick Jr., are the most professional and compassionate people I have ever dealt with. What truly stands out is their extraordinary ability to make one of the most difficult experiences in life — laying a loved one to rest — feel possible, handled with such ease, grace, and genuine care. Patrick Jr. who is the funeral director is someone you can truly trust. From the very beginning, he reassured me that he would be there every step of the way, and he absolutely was. The wake and mass at the chapel were absolutely beautiful. They also arranged a live stream and recording so that our family in Colombia could feel like they were part of this special day — something that meant the world to us. I will always be grateful to Patrick Jr. for the kindness, patience, and dignity they brought to such a painful time. They are a true blessing to every family they serve.“
