“We recently returned to Lewiston, Maine for a visit with family members. The trip included a respect paying visit to our family's burial plot/headstone at St. Peter's and Paul Cemetery. The marker, a larger rectangular granite stone, has been in place since the 1960s and had become very discolored, with lichen growing in many locations. We contacted Amy Collette at Collette Monuments in Lewiston and arranged for them to professionally clean the main stone and two smaller ground level WWII markers, also made from granite. The quoted price was extremely reasonable and Amy was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Amy contacted us about two weeks later to report the cleaning project was a success and she provided photos in support. All three stones look brand new; such an outstanding job. We appreciate the care, respect and attention the Collette Monuments team afforded our departed family members. Collette Monuments has been in business a very long time and we encourage you to speak with them about any stone work or care you may need done. Thank you Amy and the entire Collette Monuments team! We appreciate you. Pete Paradis Sr”

“I contacted Amy ( a family treasure) at Collette Monument to have our Monument and head stones cleaned. We couldn't be more pleased with the results! John did such an amazing job. Our stones are now beautifully cleaned, positioned correctly and preserved for years to come! We also had repair work done to a couple headstones and the outcome was even better than our expectations! I had spoken with Don, Luc and Amy and I was very impressed with their friendly family atmosphere, professionalism and dedication to making the repairs as affordable as possible without compromising the results. I am so glad I came to their office in person and had the pleasure to meet this wonderful family! Thank you very much Collette Monuments!”

“We used Collette recently for a very special memorial bench to honor a coach from our local youth softball association we recently lost to cancer. They managed to turn our project around in amazing time so that we were able to unveil the memorial during our seson Opening Ceremonies. They were exceptionally professional from quoting to installation. It was an Opening Day to remember.”
