Hunt Memorials Inc. is a monument and memorial company based in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 1928, it is a family-owned business that the website describes as spanning four generations and more than 90 years of operation. The company designs and produces headstones, markers, monuments, and custom sculpture, emphasizing hand-crafted work created individually for each client rather than mass-produced or overseas factory production. Its stated philosophy is that all memorialists are storytellers, summarized on the site as “let the stone speak.”

Services
Beyond finished products, Hunt Memorials provides design consultation, engraving, and installation. The website describes a collaborative “Concept to Creation” process in which the company works with clients on sketch designs and then hand-sculpts and crafts each monument. Galleries on the site display design sketches alongside finished stone monuments to illustrate this process. Custom hand sculpting is highlighted as a distinguishing service.
According to the website’s production process and FAQ pages, an order is added to production once the contract is completed and a 50 percent deposit is submitted, with the balance due upon completion before installation or delivery. Custom stone is ordered to the specified size, shape, and color from the company’s suppliers, and HMI then carves and delivers the memorial. The site states that in-stock memorials typically take about 8 to 10 weeks to craft and bronze markers about 10 to 12 weeks, with custom work varying by design complexity. The company notes a free layaway program for customers facing financial hardship, and that appointments are suggested but not required. Hunt Memorials describes an in-house production team with decades of hands-on experience that has installed many stones across Tennessee and the Mid-South and works with cemeteries on both delivery and installation.
