General Info

In 1948, Rupert and Merle Childress began operation of what is now one of the largest monument dealers in East Texas. From the beginning, Rupert insisted on quality and service. That tradition is carried on today, by his daughters Paula, Barbara, son-in-law Charles, and grandson Curt. Beginning in 1948, our family at Childress Monument Works has served the memorial needs of families in East Texas and Western Louisiana. "Memories Carved in Stone" are what we do best.
