Blue Ridge Monuments was founded as Daniels Memorials in 1985 by Frank and Wilma Daniels. The office was located at that time on Rutherford Rd in Marion, NC. In 2000 Greg Daniels took over the business from his parents. Due to increased business the company relocated to better serve our customers in 2003. Its current location is off of Hwy 226S just before I-40 Exit 86 and McDowell Tech.

In addition to serving thousands of families by meeting their memorial needs Blue Ridge Monuments has also completed numerous local projects. The city mausoleum at the Oak Grove Cemetery, the Hospice of McDowell Sign, and the Confederate Veteran and Gulf War additions to the war memorial at McDowell County Courthouse are a few of these.

Through business growth and an evolving industry Blue Ridge Monuments now has the capabilities of providing numerous services and products from a global market. Many of which were not even available at the inception of the business. The company also has the privilege of serving a much larger district than in the past. Despite these advances Blue Ridge Monuments remains a small, local business with the values and standards associated with such. More valuable than any other asset that has been gained over the past 27 years is the reputation Blue Ridge Monuments has achieved; a reputation which is built foremost on customer care and quality products.
