Fairfield Monument Co. - Darien, Connecticut

I called Fairfield to inquire about replacing or re-etching my great-grandmother's grave stone. It was over 100 years old and very hard to read. Don Foley is whom I spoke with. He suggested before spending a lot of money on a stone, that I wash the stone. I thought he was crazy. He gave me specific instructions to clean the stone. As I live about 8 hours away from the cemetery, I didn't get the opportunity to wash the stone until a year later. I followed Don's instructions and IT WORKED. The stone is now legible and I saw no damage to the stone.
Pics are before and after.
I am forever grateful to Don and this company for their expertise and knowledge. I would highly recommend this company.

I was extremely pleased with my experience with Fairfield Monument Company. As with everyone who has the sad task of burying family, mine was trifold. I buried my Father, Mother & Brother last June and, due to illness, postponed having their tombstone engraved. This was a very emotional time for me and the task of finding a reliable engraver felt daunting. After several attempts with other local engravers, I was blessed to find Don at Fairfield Monument Company. It was so rare to have a human being pick up the phone when you called - AND - he was the actual owner of the company! He could not have been more pleasant, sympathetic, understanding and helpful. By the end of our conversation he had me laughing and took all the stress out of my situation. After a short back and forth of email correspondence and finalizing drafts, we gave Don the go ahead. It only took 6 weeks from day one to completion and he did an absolutely amazing job. This was no easy task as he had to go to the grave site and work on the existing tombstone which already had other family names engraved on it from over 45 years ago. He matched and centered everything perfectly. I highly recommend Don and Fairfield Monument Company. His quality of work, pricing and compassion are the best.

Don,
We are very pleased with the marker for my Mom. It is more detailed with better workmanship than we ever expected. Also your kindness in the process, which I had not been through prior, was greatly appreciated. Fairfield Monument Co. has produced a beautiful marker, in a very timely manner, at a very reasonable cost. We would certainly use Don and Fairfield Monument in the future if needed!

A heartfelt thank you!

During one of the most difficult times in my life I had the opportunity to meet Don at Fairfield Monument! The need to see him was obviously very emotional and I was taken aback at the level of compassion Don demonstrated. The business side of our conversation was professional and the human side was thoughtful and heart felt. Not to mention the final
Product was beautifully done. I would recommend Fairfield Monument for those tough and final decisions that need to be made to honor love ones.
Thank you Don!

I cannot praise Don enough for his patience and support in navigating familial burial issues. I went seeking advice about a future burial in a shared family plot, not knowing what the cemetery rules were for this particular situation. Not only was he knowledgeable about current regulations governing multiple burials in the same plot, but he also worked with me, made phone calls on my behalf, and gave me many options for working within those parameters. Don was always informative, upbeat (despite my numerous phone calls), and concerned that our wishes be honored. Trust me, Don is a wonderful person to do business with; he treats you like a member of his family! I highly recommend Fairfield Monument Co. because of his personal and caring way.

The team at Fairfield Monument, led by Don Foley, are bot caring and detail oriented . I have worked with them on the restoration of a family monument, designing and building a new monument for a friend gone too soon and they also did an amazing job on several beautiful stone benches that honor a very large gift to a local prep school- all first rate !!
