Adam Sprung is now the third-generation owner of his family’s business. Sprung Monuments has the ability to build and deliver monuments across the United States. The Wall of Tears Foundation is proud to partner with Sprung Monuments as they have afforded support by providing the tools and training we needed through design and engineering. Sprung was selected as the manufacturer and installer of the first Wall of Tears monument. They are the largest monument company in the Northeast — producing over 5,000 memorials each year. Their size helps them offer better pricing on larger-scale projects. They provide installation services in over 500 cemeteries in the metropolitan area, including locations in New York and New Jersey.

Sprung also sources the finest granite from quarries around the world — qualities unmatched by any other company in the Northeast. They assisted us in the selection of materials from a wide variety of different granite, giving us the ability to customize the monument the way we envisioned it.

Sprung invested in the Craftsmen Center – a one-of-a-kind 22,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in North Lindenhurst – so that they could ensure complete control over each monument that we order. They handle every aspect of the stone production process in-house: from the selection of the finest materials, the design process. This includes the transfer to the granite, the intricate carving, engraving, and polishing of the monument. They then set the monument on a base at the location of our choosing.
