It all started in 1973 when…
Roy E. Kent & Edward A. Pelczar started providing cemetery memorials to the families they served at Kent Funeral Home.
In 1986, the name was changed to Pelczar Memorials under Kent & Pelczar Funeral Home.
In 1997 Edward’s oldest son, Michael A. Pelczar joined the family business.
In January of 2018, Michael purchased the business from Edward and they continued to serve many families with high quality cemetery memorials, lettering and cleaning services. Until Edward’s passing in 2021.
In June of 2025, Judi Tasker joined Pelczar Memorials and she brings a lot of knowledge and over 30 years of experience working in the Dover, Rochester, Somersworth, and Rollinsford Cemeteries.
What we do…..
Pelczar Memorials can help create and customize any type of memorial for you. Whether you are looking for an upright monument, a slant marker, a flush marker, or any other type of memorial (bronze plaques), our knowledgeable and experienced staff can guide you through the process.
Before purchasing a memorial we will assist you with the following:
We will sit down with you and discuss all your options
We will check to see if your cemetery has any restrictions on size and shape of memorials
Gather all important information such as names, dates of birth & death
Show you possible designs and letter styles that you could have on your monument or marker
Why should I buy a memorial in advance?
Many people choose to purchase a monument ahead of time. In doing this, you can select exactly what you want and you relieve family members of taking care of this later.
What kind of granite do we offer?
We offer several different kinds of granite that range in color and price. Most commonly selected is Barre Granite (Gray), Mountain Rose (Pink), Dakota Mahogany, Gem Mist (Black), Jet Black (Black). We also offer Bahama Blue, Bethel White, and others as requested.
How much does a marker cost?
Markers can vary in cost. They can start as low as $100.00 and go up from there . The size, amount of lettering, design, and the kind of granite selected, will determine the cost.
