Uprights, markers, inscriptions, and cameos — designed by hand and installed with care. Teresa Winslow has been doing this personally since 2004.
No call centres. No sales pressure. Teresa answers the phone herself and has been doing this for 21 years — she will listen, not pitch.
A memorial stone is not a purchase. It is a record — cut in granite, built to outlast everyone in this room. We treat it that way, every time.
Teresa Winslow opened WMS Monuments in Chaska in 2004 — and has designed and installed every stone since. There is no team between you and the person doing the work.
No Wix templates. No Gmail placeholders on the invoice. No hand-offs. Teresa takes the consultation, draws the design, coordinates the cemetery, and follows up after installation. That is not a feature. It is just how she runs a business.
Read Teresa's story →No catalogue pieces — every stone is designed for one family, approved by them, and installed by our crew.
A family estate monument is planned once and built to last a century — with space for every name that will follow.
We design the layout together, build in capacity for future inscriptions, and handle every Minnesota cemetery approval. One visit, one decision, one lasting record.
