At Kawartha Monuments, we are dedicated to creating lasting memorials that honour life, legacy, and memory. We understand that choosing a monument is an important and personal decision. Our role is to guide families with clarity, care, and professional expertise throughout the process.
Serving Peterborough, the Kawartha's, and surrounding Ontario communities, we specialize in the design, creation, and installation of quality granite and bronze memorials. Each monument is crafted with attention to detail, respect for tradition, and a commitment to long-term durability.
Locally owned and operated, we are a reliable and full-service monument company with the expertise and “know-how” from concept to installation and service.
We meet recognized industry standards for design, materials, and workmanship to ensure every monument is crafted with care and expertise.
We believe families deserve clarity when making important decisions. Our website is designed to clearly present monument styles, customization options, and starting prices so you can explore choices confidently and at your own pace.
Every cemetery has its own guidelines governing monument size, style, and placement. We work directly with cemeteries to confirm all requirements and approvals, ensuring each memorial complies fully with local regulations and avoiding unnecessary stress for families.

Milestones that define our journey.
Derrick & Sandra Lennox started managing Emily Cemetery. Derrick continued to grow his clientele of looking after other rural cemeteries in the area. He began working with Rod Verduyn in sales and distribution of monuments.
Seeing a need for a local monument company that looks after local families, Derrick started Kawartha Monuments Ltd. and opened his own showroom in Bridgenorth.
In 2021 Carder Vaults was purchased, and changed to Kawartha Vaults to continue to better serve families, cemeteries and funeral homes in the Kawartha Lakes and greater Peterborough Area.
A passionate team dedicated to driving innovation and delivering excellence.
