- Owners of monument retailing companies
- Certified Memorialists® working in monument builder shops
- People who buy and specify products and supplies—everything from granite and small hand tools to truck-mounted cranes.
- Businesses ranging in size from one- to two-person operations to those with 30 or more employees. Numerous MBNA members have multiple branch locations.
