Our Story-Shafer Memorials

Now in our 100th year of our family business. Still in the same location, with a few changes.

As always, we offer ‘Friendly Consultation, Without Obligation’

Shafer Memorials has been a family business in the same location Since 1919, we are now proudly in our 6th generation.

We feel it is important to remain doing the engraving of our memorials ourselves. In our shop we not only engrave the name, dates, and artwork—but we do the hand carving you see in the flower petals and leaves.
