    Current Alerts For This Business

    Alert:

    On June 16, 2023, BBB notified Lancaster Memorials of concerns in consumer complaints regarding the company's marketplace practices. Specifically, BBB identified a pattern of complaints where consumers alleged that:

    • The company has failed to deliver the product that has been paid for in full or with a 50% deposit.
    • The business was deceptive when giving the consumer a time frame for delivery of their product.
    • Unreasonable delays for the delivery and/or installation of product
    • Difficulty contacting the business over the phone or via email; and/or when going by their physical location to discuss, the office is locked, and any messages left with an employee in person or via phone/email requesting a call back from the owner, were ignored.

      My ************ and several of her husbands family members bought and paid for headstones in advance of their death. My ************ recently passed and we have left many messages. No one answers the phone and you get a recording. We have left many voicemails. Our only alternative seems to be is to hire an another company in the area to engrave the *** onto the headstone. Thing is I think the 2 companies are in collusion. They want to charge us $200 plus for a service already paid for. I think based on the reviews and our experience there could be a class action lawsuit against them.
