oldshopA Brief History of Campbell Monument Company... In the late 1800's, Quinte area native John Campbell joined his uncle's monument company in Stirling, Ontario, where he applied his skills to learn the business. Following his apprenticeship, he founded his own monument company in Trenton, Ontario, in the early 1900's. His son, Arnold, joined him in the family business, and quickly became a skilled stonecarver.

arnoldArnold Campbell had sound ideas about product quality and a determination to offer monuments distinctive for outstanding quality. Aware of potential for product improvement, he hired a master stonecarver from Ireland. The business prospered and, eventually, a decision was made to relocate to Belleville, Ontario. In 1930, Arnold Campbell opened his company in a converted blacksmith's shop on Bridge St. W. in Belleville. The staff consisted of two full-time and one part-time employee.

billIn 1951, Arnold's son William (Bill) Campbell came to work for the company, eventually he would have controlling interest. With his own unique ideas about running a business, Bill Campbell, in a bold move, gave each of the employees a share of the company and made each of them directors. Since then Campbell Monument has been an employee owned company.

In 1989 the company moved to new, expanded facilities, on highway #2 at Wallbridge-Loyalist Rd. Today it has 28 employees and several part-time employees. A staff of fine shopartists and graphic designers works closely with memorial consultants and clients to ensure continuance of the distinctive, quality monuments that have become the Campbell trademark.

 In addition to its Belleville offices and production facilities, the Campbell Monument Company has full service sales offices in Pembroke, Lindsay, Cobourg, and Renfrew, and a full compliment of representatives throughout Eastern Ontario.
