MBNews

MBNews is the official monthly publication of the Monument Builders of North America. MBNews content is guided by the Editorial Advisory Board made up of MBNA members ensuring the articles are relevant and useful to monument building professionals.

Each month, MBNews is mailed to more than 700 of the memorial industry’s key decision-makers in the US and Canada:

  • 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.
