About Us
Founded in 1877 by John Mortimer, Mortimer’s Monumental Works Ltd has grown from early quarry roots to a respected, family‑owned manufacturer serving Victoria, Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, and communities across BC. Since the Mann family took ownership in 1977, we’ve upheld a tradition of craftsmanship and thoughtful service, creating granite monuments known for durability, artistry, and attention to detail. Today, Kerry Mann and our team continue this legacy from our showroom and manufacturing facility on Kings Road in Victoria, where families can see our work firsthand and meet the craftspeople who shape each memorial. For us, every monument is more than a marker, it’s a story preserved with care, integrity, and respect.
