Our Story: It Started With a Hello, and Ends With a Promise.

Monaleah founder's yellow Lab Mintu and rescue kitten Tuni side by side, the beloved pets who inspired our custom memorial stones.

Who We Are

Monaleah is a family-run memorial studio dedicated to creating thoughtful, personalized sympathy gifts. We specialize in custom memorial stones and keepsakes designed to offer comfort to those honoring a beloved pet. We are here to provide a lasting way to say “you are loved, and you are remembered.”

How We Began

Monaleah didn’t start in a boardroom. It started on a crisp winter afternoon in 2015, the day I lost my best friend, Mintu.

Mintu was the kind of dog who felt more like a guardian angel. He followed my uncle home one day, and from that first look, I knew he was mine. He was this perfect mix of an old soul and a playful spirit; he was protective enough to watch over our whole family yet so deeply gentle in everything he did. When he passed, the silence he left behind was deafening. I woke up every day reaching for him and missing the weight of his presence.

Then came Tuni.

I found her in an old church; she was a tiny, fragile kitten only five days old. She was so small I was terrified to hold her, but she turned out to be the strongest soul I’ve ever met. She went from a fragile rescue to the boss of the entire house. She was my shadow, snuggling up every single night, and she would fall asleep on my hand while I stayed perfectly still so I wouldn’t wake her. Losing her in 2020 felt like losing a piece of my own heartbeat.

Why Monaleah Exists

I created Monaleah because I know that empty feeling. I know the panic of wanting to hold onto a memory before it fades.

When I was grieving, I searched everywhere for something that felt "right", something that wasn't just a generic product but a tribute that matched the love I felt. I realized that when people are looking for a place to buy or gift thoughtful sympathy and memorial gifts, they aren't looking for "inventory." They are looking for closure.

Our Promise to You

We create memorials for people who are grieving quietly, loving deeply, and looking for something that feels right. Whether it’s for your own healing or to support a friend after a loss, we are honored to be trusted by families across the country to handle these memories with care.

Every piece we make at Monaleah is crafted with Mintu and Tuni in mind. We don't just print photos on stone; we help you freeze a moment in time.

If you are here because you are trying to honor a life that meant everything to you, we hope you find something here that brings you a small sense of peace.

In loving memory of Mintu (2015) & Tuni (2020).
