Mission Statement

Our mission is to honor those who have passed before us so current and future generations will remember them and to provide emotional comfort to those who remain on this earth.

Our mission summarizes our desire to be of service to each family in the manner the family desires.  Death is an individual act and each family responds differently.  We strive to understand first the family needs and desire and only then to suggest a memorial to a loved one.  

We understand that buying a monument is something that a family does only once or twice in their life times.  We work to remove the mystery from our business and are open to show or explain each step in the process.

Company History

Cotner Monument has been providing monuments to mid west since 1872.  We began as Daily Monument located just off Garrison Avenue in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  We moved to our Midland Boulevard location in 1933. We continue to house our manufacturing plant on Midland.

In 2004, we moved our Fort Smith sales office to 324 North Greenwood Avenue.  The move allowed us to house the only fully indoor sales location in the mid-west and provide better access to our customers.

In 2005, we opened our satellite location under the name of Heritage Monument in Springdale,  Arkansas.  This location allow us to bring our years of experience to that portion of the state along with southern Missouri.  

In 2006, We have since opened a second store in Fayetteville to better serve our customers.
