Jim Warner's Monument Co.
Jim Warner Monument Company is located in Lake in the Hills, Illinois.
We specialize in monuments in granite and bronze. Monuments can be personalized with graphics or sculptures of a favorite hobby, activity, club, fraternity, sorority, sayings or epitaphs.
We do on site engravings of all kinds including address stones and subdivision boulders.
We believe that "no rock is too big." We also create and engrave garden and pet stones from smooth river rocks in sizes from 6" to 18". Popular now are Chinese and Japanese characters engraved on these stones.
Our shop also creates sandblasted signs in redwood, limestone and granite for subdivisions, schools, parks and communities, offices and more.
About Us
I am a third generation monument maker. My grandfather, John Steven Warner was a foreman and designer, stone cutter and engraver, who came to Chicago in 1935 from St. Cloud, Minnesota. He was the founder of J. S. Warner & Sons Monument Company. My father Claud (Chuck) Warner learned the trade from him.
I started as a cemetery engraver putting the final dates on companion memorials. After doing that for three years I opened my own engraving shop October 1, 1979. I became the primary engraver for J. S. Warner & Sons along with other monument companies in the area.
We called ourselves the unknown engravers because our work was on other company's memorials. I remained the engraver for J. S. Warner and Sons until they got out of the business in 1995. At that time I started my own full service monument company. I have 31 years of experience in the monument business.
