Heart Monuments
No symbol says love as plainly as a heart, which is why heart monuments hold such a special place for so many families. A single heart honors one cherished life. A double heart, joined or set side by side, speaks to a marriage or a bond that time couldn't break. A triple heart can gather a whole family into one design.
At Monuments By Parise, we craft heart-shaped monuments in granite and bronze in a range of colors and finishes, from soft rose tones to deep polished black, and we personalize each one with the names, dates, words, and images that tell your story. Look through the designs below, and let us help you shape a memorial as warm and enduring as the love behind it.

Work With a Local Monument Company
A heart monument is often a couple's memorial, and that changes the planning in ways families don't always see coming.
Think about a double heart for a husband and wife. Very often, one spouse passes first, and the monument is set with both names, the survivor's birth year already in place, and only the final date left to add later.
That later addition is where inexperience shows. The new lettering has to match the original in style and depth, and the freshly cut stone has to be blended so it doesn't stand out against granite that has weathered for years. A shop that carved the original and keeps its patterns can make that second date look like it always belonged. A shop that didn't, often can't. Because our craftsmen do this work in house and we keep your monument on record, we're ready to letter that final date years down the road with the care the first carving received.
Layout matters just as much on a shared heart. Two names, two sets of dates, and often a shared line like a wedding date or a few words about the life you built together all have to sit in balance so neither person is crowded. We design that composition with you from the start, so the finished memorial feels whole.
And the shape itself asks for the right foundation. A wide double heart carries its weight differently than a narrow upright, so we build the base to suit it and set the memorial with our own crew, keeping one company responsible from the first sketch to the final seal.

A companion heart is one of the most meaningful things a couple can plan together, which is why so many pairs design theirs side by side while there's no pressure at all. Our preplanning page explains how that works, and it spares the surviving spouse a hard decision later. If you've recently lost your partner and need help now, our at-need guidance walks you through it gently. And if you're arranging a plot with room for two, our cemetery plot checklist covers what to confirm before you buy.
Why Families Trust Monuments by Parise
A heart monument is chosen with the heart, and it deserves a company that understands that. We've walked beside this area's grieving families since 1941, so we know that a couple's memorial is rarely just a purchase. It's a widow choosing how to honor fifty years of marriage, or two people quietly making sure neither will ever have to face this decision alone. We never rush that. We listen, we guide, and we give you the time it deserves, with no pressure and no upselling.
When you're ready, the craftsmanship is here to match the feeling. We opened our monument company in 1997 after training under a specialist with more than 40 years in the trade, and our own craftsmen cut, carve, and letter every memorial from one of the region's largest selections of granite and bronze. Our own crew sets each one on a foundation we build.
Our written guarantee stands behind it for the long run: the granite is certified free from defects and won't chip, crack, or disintegrate, bronze is cast by quality foundries with lettering hand chased and highlighted, and any defective part is replaced at no expense to you or your heirs.
You can also take your time choosing together, in person and year round, at the area's only all-inclusive indoor monument showroom in Blakely. Learn more about our family and our guarantee, or read what other families have shared on our testimonials page.
Trusted Throughout Lackawanna & Wayne Counties
We craft heart monuments for families throughout Northeast Pennsylvania, including Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Blakely, Carbondale, Pittston, Dickson City, Olyphant, Jessup, Archbald, Dunmore, Clarks Summit, Peckville, Throop, Taylor, Old Forge, Moosic, Avoca, Duryea, Forest City, Honesdale, Tunkhannock, and the surrounding communities.
This is a region of lasting marriages and close families. Couples here spend forty, fifty, and sixty years side by side, raise their children a few streets from where they grew up themselves, and are laid to rest together in the same family plots their parents chose. A heart monument fits that kind of devotion. Time and again, families tell us their parents or grandparents were rarely apart in life, and a joined heart is the truest way to keep them together in memory. Helping couples and their children mark that bond is some of the most meaningful work we do.
Our three locations keep help close by: our Blakely showroom at 1975 Scranton Carbondale Highway, our Carbondale display at 89 Farview Street, and our Clifford display at 18 Airport Road.
