Custom Memorials Crafted With Care

Since 1929, our family has helped families across Hamilton and the Greater Toronto Area create meaningful memorials that honour life, memory, and legacy.

Memorials & Markers

Designed Around a Life

Custom memorials start with a conversation. Families share what mattered, and we translate that into shape, stone, inscription, and detail – built to last and personal from the start.

Custom Memorials

Made to Last

Our standard monuments are crafted in quality granite, finished with precision, and available in a range of colours and sizes to suit different cemetery settings and family preferences.

Best decision our family made was to deal with Hardwick and Son in 1983 for our grandparent’s monument and this year 2025 for our father’s monument. Joy was extremely helpful, kind and professional to deal with and took great care of us. If you require dignity and elegance trust only Hardwick and Son which have been around for five generations since 1929. Thank you very much Joy you are a wonderful person and we appreciate you going above and beyond to assist us.

We can’t begin to thank Joy enough for all her help and guidance and kindness with our brothers marker. She went above and beyond to see that it was in place for our brothers internment. Thank you so very much Joy from our whole family.

Excellent customer service! Greg was amazing to deal with and responded quickly with all my questions. I would recommend this company to anyone! They made this difficult experience much easier than it could have been. The product looked beautiful and the prices were better than other companies I dealt with.

Wonderful service, easy to work with requests and done professionally in a very timely manner.

I sincerely recommend H&S Memorial Studio. I had put off trying to sort out the passing date on a family member’s stone for years, and was able to sort it out within 5 minutes of contacting this company. Joy, who assisted me on the phone was lovely, and extremely helpful, knowledgable and efficient. The turnaround time was also significantly shorter than what I was quoted. 5 Stars all around.

Greg and his team did a fantastic job for us over the past several months, preparing five memorial stones for our family. From initial design to the delivery of the finished product, we experienced friendly consultation and service with easy communication along the way. Thanks H&S!

You recently finished the grave markers for my mother and father Myrtle and Edward O’Neill. We saw the markers for the first time yesterday and we were delighted with the results. My brother and I wish to thank you and your team for that beautiful result. Thanks again all the best.

I am pleased to extend our thanks and appreciation for your care and craftsmanship in the development of an elegant headstone monument that pays tribute to the well-lived lives of our parents. Their headstone is a proud but simple piece that will continue to provide a dignified landmark that commemorates their lives for all of us.

On behalf of myself and my mother’s family, I just wanted to thank you for the work and effort you put into ensuring that her gravestone was in place for her memorial service. My mom’s eldest brother said it best: “It would not have been the same without the monument in place.” He also asked me to personally thank you and as well to comment on how beautiful it looked and what a fine job your company did.

My niece and I are very pleased with the work you performed. I know it was difficult to find a suitable stone but the one used was almost a perfect match to my parent’s existing stone and looks very nice. Thank you for all your help!

Thank you so much for helping me through one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. Your patience, professionalism and attention to detail were so appreciated.
It looks beautiful and the extra work you did on the base made a world of difference.

I am really pleased with our memorial monument. It looks lovely. It means so much to have a good-looking quality memorial in place in the cemetery to honour a wonderful husband and father. Your engraver or engravers did a fabulous job as well.
I would certainly recommend Hardwick and Son to anyone looking to purchase a memorial monument.

I want to thank you and your amazing team! My mom’s marker was done so beautifully, I couldn’t have asked for anything more beautiful. Thank you, for going out of your way for us and getting it there just in time! You have most definitely surpassed our expectations. Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!
