Charles and Beatrice Vaughn founded the business shortly after World War II, following Charles's service in the Army Air Forces, and what they built from the ground up has never left the family.

Vaughn's specializes in custom headstones, monuments, urns, cremation monuments, benches, vases, and pet memorials, with each piece handcrafted to be as unique as the person being honored.![]()
