About Us

For over 100 years, South Bend Monument has been providing the finest memorials to families in the Michiana area. Founded by the Ironside brothers and followed by four generations of the Vandewalle family, South Bend Monument is currently owned by Tony McDowell. We produce stock and custom mausoleums, monuments, and markers to all cemeteries in the Michiana area including counties of St. Joseph, Laporte, Elkhart, Marshall, Cass, Berrien and beyond.

Working closely with families, funeral homes, and cemeteries, our skilled craftsmen use their combined 90+ years of experience to meet all of our customers' needs. We make the highest quality stones with the lowest prices in the area and have no commissioned sales people to pressure the customer. We also supply etchings, porcelain photos, vigil lights, candles, bronze markers, bronze statues, marble statues, and granite statues. Custom work, duplicate stones, hand drawn designs and lettering, as well as computer generated images are all available.
