    I want to thank Greg and Anthony, and all their associates at Wellwood Memorials for everything they did to allow me to capture, display and share with other pet lovers the essence of and relationship with my little buddy and special friend, Frisky.
    Their dedication to working with me in developing and fulfilling my vision for Frisky’s entire monument was exceptional. Beginning with the initial consultation on my draft design sketch, through the editing process of several epitaph iterations, the monument structure, size and placement of the epitaph, Frisky’s characteristics and our daily routines, his porcelain picture portraits and etchings and the porcelain picture Rainbow Bridge poem, they consistently demonstrated their professionalism, patience and compassion. Their guidance and responsiveness to the many facets of the overall design that I desired, as well as Pat’s artistic talent, Lester’s craftsmanship and Mike’s installation expertise and careful placement were all very much appreciated. Lisa, Claire, Mary and Claudia were also always there to answer my calls and contributed to help me through the entire process.
    Finally, I know their business is not an easy one, considering the circumstances under which their services are provided. It is, however, most meaningful to the people and families they serve as the entire team actually builds and provides the everlasting bridge from memories of to eternity for our loved ones.
    We only live on if we’re remembered. Frisky gave us so much fun and love to remember him forever and Wellwood Memorials made this possible.
    On behalf of our entire family, and especially Frisky, I want to express to their entire team my sincerest thanks once again.
    I wholeheartedly recommend the family team at Wellwood Memorials to all who deserve the best in their time of need.

    Anthony and the rest did a great job getting mom and grandma to rest without any stress on our end. The stone looked great and they got it in on time. Thanks so much

    They were friendly, caring, and helpful. It's a monument place, so obviously the reason we were there was sad, but they made the experience painless (as possible). I highly recommend this company.

    The Spadolini Family and the team at Wellwood Memorials were great to work with. They listened and offered detailed enhancements to create a special memorial. They were welcoming, friendly and pleasant. My family and I were very happy with the quality of work. Wellwood Memorials delivered in a timely manner and communicated all the way through.

    A promise made a promise kept, during a very difficult time , the passing of our father. Due to the pandemic getting everything together, us being in NY and my fathers ashes in Florida and his grave also in Florida, was very difficult to get a headstone done in Florida so we had Wellwood Memorial do it. They created a beautiful Celtic Cross as we had promised our parents to be placed on there grave and Wellwood Memorial promised us it would be there when needed, well they also kept there promise. They had to hand delivere and dig his grave due to more problems in Florida so myself and my family have the utmost respect for these great people mother brothers and the workers they saved us much heart ache Thank you again for a great job done.

    Greg and Anthony did a great job for my family making grave markers for seven people. The quality and service was fantastic. They even went the extra mile and cleaned my moms headstone and grave marker. I made a number of changes during the process and they made sure everything was done per my wishes. This is an old family company that is proud that they are the 3rd generation and turning out the same quality work that the 1st and 2nd generation performed. Great people, great company.

    My family and I highly recommend Wellwood Memorials. We have been coming here for many years. This is a family owned business spanning several generations. The Spadolini family is very quick to resolve any customer concerns. Greg in particular has gone above and beyond in making sure that our loved ones memorials are created as desired, and properly maintained for many years to come. If you want to honor your loved ones with old fashioned, honest, reliable, courteous, and professional service, I highly recommend Wellwood Memorials. They truly are the best in the business.

    Excellent experience. They designed a beautiful pink granite headstone for my beloved dog. Friendly service, highly skilled family firm.

    I couldn't be more pleased with Wellwood Memorials service. When we first ordered the stone in 1970 for our daughter, we worked with the parents of Greg and Anthony. Now with the death of my wife, I returned to have the stone updated.The help and suggestions I received were just as exceptional. Their help at this time made the process bearable.I can't thank them enough. Thanks, Karl

    Wellwood Memorials is one of the few companies I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with that TRULY deserves a five-star rating.

    Purchasing a monument for a loved one is never an easy task. In fact, for me it was one of the most difficult periods I had to go through after the loss of my grandfather. That being said, I can't imagine any company being more considerate of my situation. They took the time to walk me through each and every step of the process (multiple times, might I add), and within 5 minutes of talking with Anthony (the owner) I was confident in the fact that they would create something truly worthy of honoring his life.

    This was not my first time purchasing a stone, and I will admit that my last experience with another company was not a great one. My overall experience with Wellwood Memorials could not have been more different. Anthony Jr. worked with me frequently not just in person, but also over the phone and email. This was very helpful as I was not always able to make it into their office. During the early design phase we went through many different iterations, all of which their on-site artist was able to sketch up and provide us with example layouts (with great patience for our many demands, I might add). This was very helpful in deciding on a final design.

    In terms of the stone itself - and I think this is very important to note - the quality of the stone used by Wellwood Memorials is a step above the other monument companies I looked at. Specifically, they explained to me that they use only granite from American quarries, unlike most of the others who use granite from quarries in China or India. Compared to those granites, the American granite holds up significantly better to weathering and is of a much higher overall quality. This is the quality I was looking for.

    The level of quality is not found just in the stone they use, but in the works of art they create for their customers. One option (that I went with) was that of "hand carved" stone. This was a beautiful option with which any custom design of my liking could be hand carved by an artist in the stone. I was shown some examples of their previous hand carvings and I knew that I just had to go that route.

    In short, I could not be happier with my overall experience with Wellwood Memorials. They helped me through a dark period of my life with professionalism, all the while treating me like a member of their family. I can't thank them enough for creating such a beautiful monument for my grandfather. One that I know will last for many years to come.

    I'm so pleased we went with Wellwood Memorials, Anthony was a pleasure to work with, he was patient and understanding, really heard our desires and worked within the timeline we requested. The staff is very helpful, they pick and answer immediately. The headstone was designed by Anthony exactly as we requested from start to finish, he allowed us to choose every part of it and even let us review it and make changes as needed. He made the process very easy. The headstone came out beautifully, it was very moving and meaningful.

    My family and i came here to purchase a headstone and Anthony was very helpful and nice.

    We worked with Wellwood to create a memorial with Hebrew text. Everything went very smoothly. Since we don't live locally, they were kind enough to visit the site and take pictures for our planning purposes.

    When we went to buy a headstone for our late beloved fur baby Frodo, Bide A Wee Memorial Park (where Frodo rests) gave us the names of a few companies that they work with. I saw Wellwood Memorial's good Yelp reviews so decided to go there.

    Anthony Spadolini was supportive and friendly as soon as we walked into Wellwood's well organized spacious showroom. When we told Anthony that Frodo was a Papillon with butterfly shaped ears, Anthony and his brother produced two beautiful designs on their computers while we waited. We picked a design, left a small deposit and the head stone was ready 6 weeks later as promised.

    The rose granite stone they made is even more beautiful than we expected, a true work of art; only the best for our boy! While it isn't easy to make these kinds of arrangements, the Spadolini family and Wellwood Memorials made things go smoothly. Highly recommended for man or "beast".

    Dealing with a loss is one of the worst parts of life. The process of making arrangements is even worse. However, upon entering Wellwood Memorials and working with the Spadolini family, I immediately felt at peace and knew this was where I wanted my grandfather's memorial designed. Any member of the wonderful staff at Wellwood Memorials takes as much time with you as you need and can answer all of your questions and concerns. If you are having a stone completed expect a wait, but said wait is BEYOND worth it!! They take all of the stories, memories, and qualities of your loved one and turn it into a work of art to remember your loved one for eternity. Thank you Wellwood for your patience and your diligence in memorializing the life of my grandfather!

    I wish I could give WELLWOOD more than FIVE STARS!!!
    My experience was nothing but FANTASTIC!
    They made a horrible and heartbreaking time bearable.
    Without getting into too much detail, another family member signed with another memorial company thinking they were Wellwood as they presented themselves that way. I reached out to Wellwood and spoke to Anthony Jr.- he was/is the CONSUMMATE professional! He knew my name because 30+ years earlier my Father (may he Rest in Peace) contracted with Wellwood to create a very special family monument and his beautiful bride's (my Mother, may she also Rest in Peace), footstone.
    I had the pleasure to speak to Anthony Sr. (may he Rest in Peace) and 30 years later he STILL remembered my Father! We spoke at length and he told me what a pleasure it was to work with him! I was so impressed and touched!
    Anthony Jr. worked with me over the phone and by email at the many revisions of wording my siblings and I went through. We had one chance to make it right! He was patient, gave his suggestions, and made it happen! He also told me about a Veteran's plaque that I could order from the VA to commemorate my Father's service during WWII. I am so grateful for that!
    The ENTIRE Spadolini family and those that assist them, are second to NONE!
    I recommend them wholeheartedly!

    Wellwood Memorials is a gem of a company. The family-owned business made me feel comfortable from the minute I walked into their establishment. They do beautiful work and their attention to detail is second to none. I couldn't have asked for a better experience during a tough time. Thank you!

    After researching many stone memorial companies, and not being thrilled with anyone I spoke to, I cannot believe my good fortune when I was referred to Wellwood Memorials in Lindenhurst, NY. They were totally professional, well-priced and installed the Headstone and Footstone on time as promised. I consulted their website for ideas and then personalized the final design (adding a tennis racket and soccer ball to my father's footstone). The finished product came out better than I ever could have hoped for. Working with Greg Spadolini was a real pleasure. He took the time to visit my father's grave site on Long Island and take pictures for me of the surrounding area (since I live in Manhattan) and was so helpful with suggestions on choosing a design that I'm sure my Dad would have loved.

    Headstones
    i purchased my daughters head stone here. They have many to chose from and customer service is very helpful in a time like this. It took about 3 to 4 months but that is the normal wait for them. The prices were about the same as every where else.

    Wellwood Memorials
    The service was most knowledgeable. I had shopped around and felt most comfortable at Wellwood Memorials during this process.There was a wide variety of pieces on display that were impeccably modeled. Many styles and designs to choose from. Every question and concern of mine was met with a smile and helped set my mind at ease during this time.

    My family and I had the unfortunate need to order a headstone. We had gone to a different business to purchase one , and after spending hours with them we were so disappointed and discouraged by them telling us we can't have what we want and it was because of the cemetery. We asked him to show us what we could buy and was told "you have to know what you want when you come here" we left there and then went to Wellwood Monuments at closing time hoping we could have a few minutes . The owner was professional, courteous and understanding , and told us she would stay with us until we found exactly what we wanted. Her son then designed the monument on the computer exactly the way what we wished for . We were told it would take less than half the time as the other place , when asked why, it's because the cut the granite themselves , cutting out the middleman . I'm not one to write reviews , but I can't say enough nice about this place especially after losing a loved one. Family run and operated and a very large display of different products all with very reasonable prices. Thank You Claudia

    I had excellent experience with Wellwood Memorials when our family needing a big monument and a marker for my dear mother.
    The owner and staff are very polite, patient and professional. They did an elegant design and good quality work for what we needed. The monument and marker were installed in Kensico Cemetary , Westchaseter County. We are very satisfy with what they did for us. This is a very reliable and responsible company. I'd like to say how appreciate we are . Thanks very much for the time, efforts and patience Wellwood extended to me. I give 5+++ star
    Highly recommend !!!
