Our Products
We believe in only selling memorials that we would choose for ourselves or our own families. Years of experience and customer feedback have shaped every product found at Green Meadow Memorials. Knowledgeable staff are on hand to answer any questions and offer helpful suggestions so you find the memorial you are looking for. We specialize in:
Commitment to Service
A memorial is a special tribute that serves many roles — it is not limited to being a dignified resting place for a loved one. Finding a distinctive memorial and adding the right text and artwork can be part of the healing process. Our service motto is to be the kind of company we would want to work with. Practically, that means we do our utmost to treat everyone who chooses us for their memorials with the utmost respect and dignity.
In pursuit of this goal, we offer unmatched flexibility and options. Our website provides a guided engraving process to ensure your memorial is laid out in an attractive and complete manner. Each sentiment or poem area offers a range of popular options to choose from or draw inspiration from. Having created thousands of memorials, we pass our knowledge and ideas on to you, and best-in-industry live previews take the guesswork out of how different text and font choices will look.
Should you be unable to find exactly what you want, or make our premade layouts work for your sentiments, we offer Custom Engraving layouts to incorporate new themes and extensive engraving options in a well-communicated and fairly priced way. Hundreds of custom memorials have been created to address all sorts of requests.
Uncertainty about when a memorial will be completed and shipped only adds to the stress that surrounds the passing of a loved one. To reduce that stress, we offer clear communication on every product about when a memorial will be completed, both on the listing and during checkout. In addition to our free shipping options, we offer value-priced three-day premium shipping with a guaranteed delivery window, and a fairly priced overnight option for those on tighter timelines.
In the Community
We believe any successful small business should be active in its community, offering enrichment and collaboration opportunities. To that end, Green Meadow is an active member of the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce in Blaine, Minnesota, where our marketing and customer service staff are located. In June 2020 we awarded our first scholarship to an aspiring student attending college, and we have awarded one every year since. Meet the winners on our awarded scholarships page. We have also donated cremation urns to funeral homes so that when a family in need is struggling and simply needs a quality memorial, one is available to them free of charge.
Testimonials
Green Meadow Memorials has earned and maintained an “A” rating with the Better Business Bureau, along with many positive reviews on Facebook, Google, and directly on our website. Here is a sample of some recent testimonials:
I ordered a custom urn for my brother to showcase his love for drag racing and it came out beautifully. During such a hard time, and having to make such an unexpected purchase, I am definitely thankful to have found Green Meadow. The price was so much lower than the $400 the funeral home was asking. It came very fast as well — even during the pandemic I received it in 4 days. I would definitely recommend this company.
I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted, but I found Green Meadow Memorials on Google and called them. Working with them over the phone was easier than I thought it would be — they were very friendly and knowledgeable, and never once did I feel they were trying to sell me something that wouldn’t fit my needs. They helped guide me to a beautiful rose cremation urn that I was able to get engraved and delivered very inexpensively compared to what I expected from the funeral home. Thank you for helping me find a real tribute for my mom.
I contacted Green Meadow Memorials after receiving my mother in a plastic container in the mail and being upset about not having a proper urn. Not only did Nat take the time to walk me through the options and explain how the cremation process works, he helped me find something that matched my budget and still allowed for the name and artwork options so I could make it truly hers. Thank you Nat, and thank you Ryan for doing a great job on the engraving — it is very clear. I am thankful you were available when I needed a calm voice and clear guidance.
The morning after my family member’s death, I sat with my sibling discussing the arrangements. I did not want them to bear the expense of an urn from the funeral home, so I searched online for an urn with a golfer and found the Green Meadow website. Even though it was early in the morning, someone responded to my chat message within minutes, and in less than 2 hours I received a picture of the engraved urn. We had it delivered within 48 hours. The quality was very nice for a price one-tenth of what one would pay at a funeral home. I highly recommend Green Meadow — they made this task an easy one at a very sad and difficult time.
