George Kynigos - King of Monument Design
George Kynigos is often called something else. He is known throughout the funeral profession Canada wide as the King of Monuments.
Through his talent and training George, a 3rd generation master craftsman; is able to capture the essence of a persons life story and memories told through his artistry on granite plaques, headstones and cemetery memorials.
My Story
George Kynigos is a Montreal native who has spent the past 10 years working in and around the Kingston area and has over 30 years experience designing and creating custom monuments & headstones . He is often credited with revolutionizing the cemetery and monument industry through his graphic design training.
George is located in the Reddendale Plaza at 730 Front Road, unit 11, Kingston, Ontario. All monument and plaque design is done locally, in house by George himself. This enables George to pass on the cost savings to his families.
My Inspiration
Over 30 years ago, it all started with art and design. I went for a walk when I was younger and quickly learned that headstones pay tribute to loved ones who have passed on. I knew I could help because I have a passion for helping others and I have loved art from the very beginning. In 2021, we opened our store in lovely Kingston, Ontario. Come and visit us. Monuments are the canvas for our memorial gallery.
Every monument is a unique as every person is unique. No two headstones are alike. This is the first time I have branched out from being under contract within the funeral profession. I worked exclusively with funeral homes but now I am offering my services and talents directly to the public. This will save your family money. We are open for business and proudly serving the Kingston, Brockville and Belleville areas.
COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES
For many many years, too many years, families have been paying way too much, for far too long. Funeral homes and cemeteries (our profession) as a whole, has a history of keeping relatively tight lipped when it comes to funeral and end-of-life costs and prices. This was due to the fact that it only became the law within the last decade in which funeral homes and cemeteries must provide price lists immediately upon request by any person/family/shopper, at any time.
Online today, you will learn quickly that over 50% of funeral homes and cemeteries STILL DO NOT HAVE THEIR PRICES ONLINE. What has changed is we now have the internet and an abundance of helpful information at our fingertips. This helps the consumer and we like that. We guarantee you pay less for your cemetery marker/stone with us than any other cemetery or funeral home in Kingston. We beat most places by more than $1,000.00. After all, we are the only monument shop left standing with all of our work being done in house. Call us for a free consultation.
