Failed Delivery by Monument Company

In February a lady paid Ogden based American Monument $881 to build a headstone for her mom who has passed away in March 2012. According to the contract, the monument would be in by Memorial Day. But there was no headstone on the Memorial Day.

She emailed American Monument President Devin Taylor directly. But, there was no respond from his side. Then she decided to ask for a refund. But again, she says no one responded.

In 2012, three different customers complaint about the American Monument that they missed the promised delivery dates. American Monument has been sued by two different United States granite suppliers; those suppliers attempting to collect owed money. Judges have ordered American monument pay more than $50-thousand to settle its debts with the two granite suppliers.

Kristi says that immediately after I called American Monument on her behalf, she finally did hear back from someone and was ultimately given a full, $881 refund.
