Own a Reserve Memorials license
Bring calm, dignified memorial service to your own Ohio community, with the brand, the training, the manufacturing, and the technology already built.
The work matters, and the market is wide open
More than 130,000 Ohioans are laid to rest each year, and fewer than 100 monument companies serve the entire state. Most are either aging family shops without a succession plan or high-volume dealers where a grieving family is a transaction.
Reserve Memorials was built to be the third option: concierge care, honest written pricing, and premium stone, delivered by people who treat a memorial as the last gift a family gives. We are licensing that model to service-hearted operators across Ohio, one protected territory at a time.
This page is for entrepreneurs. If you are here for a family memorial, you want our services instead.

What your license includes
Training and mentorship
You learn the craft, the process, and the way we sit with families. You train in our Hudson showroom and are supported through your first monuments.
Vetted engravers and installers
You plug into our network of proven granite engravers and installation crews from day one, instead of spending years finding trade partners you can trust.
Referrals from this website
Families in your territory who find reservememorials.com are routed directly to you. The marketing engine is already running when you open.
A protected territory
Your license covers an exclusive territory defined by ZIP code. We will not license anyone else inside it, period.
Central manufacturing and fulfillment
Monuments are manufactured and fulfilled centrally to our quality standard. You serve families; production, sourcing, and logistics are handled.
The technology platform
Our online monument designer, quoting tools, and this website work for your territory from your first day. No software to build or buy.
$25,000, stated plainly
The license fee is $25,000. We state the number here because transparency is one of our values. Families get it from us, and so do licensees. Your fee covers training, territory rights, platform access, and launch support.
Before you sign anything, we walk you through the full economics of the business in person: what a monument sells for, what it costs, and what a realistic first year looks like in a territory like yours. You decide with the numbers in front of you.
A license, not a franchise
This is a license arrangement, not a franchise. You own your business and your customer relationships. We provide the brand, the training, the supply chain, and the technology, and we hold you to the same standard we hold ourselves: over-deliver, every time.
We keep the network deliberately small. We would rather have a handful of excellent operators than a map full of mediocre ones, so we say no more often than we say yes.
This work suits people who serve
Our best conversations are with second-career police officers, firefighters, nurses, ministers, funeral professionals, veterans, and tradespeople. People who are steady in hard moments, careful with details, and allergic to pressure tactics.
You do not need monument industry experience; we teach the craft. You need to be the kind of person a grieving family can trust in their worst week, because that is the whole business.
