Lundgren Monuments

I understand that with the majority of human beings, the last thing on thier to do list is pre planning for the inevitable our own passing whenever that may be for each individual. I can attest Lundgren Monuments is a unique death boutique where it’s worth visiting to admire the diverse pieces of artistic memorials, that Mr. Gravestone (aka: Greg Lundgren) and his team craft to help family and friends remember thier loved ones who have passed away. When you have the opportunity to be in the First Hill Neighborhood don’t shy away from visiting this overlooked Seattle boutique.

When faced with a sudden and tragic loss in my family, I quickly realized that I was appalled by the choice of urns in the traditional funeral home setting. However, stepping into Lundgren Monuments was like a moment of reprieve from my sea of grief. I felt like Greg really knew what I was looking for since he only sells urns that are created by artists, architects and artisans. By selling works of art that would fit into any home, you can tell that Greg understands how important it is to give people these choices; plus, through his kind and gracious nature, you can see that he fathoms the depth of loss, and how those of us left behind need an anchor.
After a bit of time in the gallery, I was soon able to choose one that was both beautiful and meaningful for us. With the probability of an urn being the most emotionally charged item in your home, who would want anything less? I give a special nod of appreciation to the artists who have created such possibilities, and to Lundgren Monuments for having them in the boutique. It means the world to me…

I was a manager at multiple local cemeteries, and it was several years ago that I was introduced to Lundgren Monuments. In the death care business, it is seldom that you run into truly unique and standout products, but the first time I laid eyes on one of these monuments I knew it was a rare opportunity to provide something meaningful for my families. Greg’s attention to detail and willingness to create spectacular tributes to lives lived convinced from the first meeting.
I recognize that a review that provides balance and some negative feedback is far more helpful than one that just sings praise. To that end, I will say that these works of art don’t come at bargain prices. The difficulty, time and cost that go into producing his monuments isn’t cheap, but what comes out is an amazing creation to mark a loved one’s memory for an eternity. And on that note, these monuments are the durable equal to the stone equivalents in the cemeteries. I have yet to see an installation that had a single crack, chip or break. Do yourself a favor and take a deeper look at Greg’s creations.
