General Info:
Our Company
PenUltimate Monument has been a family owned business that was established over 50 years ago by my grandfather, Vincent Kittok. Formally known as Annandale Monument Company. We offer a wide variety of memorial products to remember the legacy of someone that has passed away. Memorials stand as a lasting tribute to mark a legacy and final resting place.
In making such a choice, every consideration should be given to the quality and permanence of the materials from which a memorial is created. Products are fabricated in St. Cloud MN by skilled craftsman that take extreme pride in their work.
You'll find dozens of useful resources on this website, including invitations to attend one of our free seminars on pre-planning benefits. You'll also find free printed guides on funeral and estate planning and links to additional web resources, and answers to your most frequently asked questions.

Planning Ahead With PenUltimate Monument
Every single day, we see families struggle to make difficult decisions during the most emotional times. We see the stress, the tears, and the outpouring of emotion that comes from not knowing what Mom, Dad, Brother, or Sister may have wanted. Some of these families never experience the peace that comes with true closure because they question their decisions long after the fact. And some of these families carry this emotional burden for far too long. While there are many reasons to pre-plan, this is the number one reason that pre-planning your cemetery and funeral arrangements is so important.
As professionals in the cemetery and memorial industry, we understand and acknowledge that discussing one's mortality is an extremely uncomfortable topic. However, we can help you and your family experience the sense of peace that only comes from knowing that your wishes will be carried out and that your loved ones will not have to make these difficult decisions at the time of death.
Designs are varied, ranging from simple, traditional headstones to personalized sculptures.
We provide an excellent alternative to more traditional memorials or monuments, custom granite benches provide many unique uses, including using the bench as the family headstone and surrounding the bench with flat grave markers.
We recognize that not all of the significant influences on our lives are human. Because of this, we are proud to offer you custom pet grave markers to remember the life of your most beloved pet.
