Peter Troost Monument Company was founded in 1870 by Frank and Henry Troost, who came to America from Belgium in 1868. The Troost family has been serving memorial customers ever since. Frank Troost, the 4th generation, got his start digging graves at one of the company cemeteries while Lisa Troost Kloet, 5th generation, started helping out when she was 12, answering phones and stamping envelopes and brochures.
Today, Peter Troost Monument Company consists more than thirty locations in five states, making it the largest privately-owned monument company in the United States. Troost Monuments are also available through more than 150 funeral homes. We have several nationally recognized designers on staff and are proud of the distinctive memorials we produce. While cemetery memorials are still our primary focus, our product offerings have grown to include commemorative plaques, brick fundraisers, commercial signage, park benches and veterans memorials.
Lisa Troost Kloet is the company President and she is committed to continuing the company traditions of growth, superior service and design and philanthropy well into the future.
Frank Troost, CEO, and Lisa Troost Kloet, President, represent the 4th and 5th generations of Troost family members to lead Peter Troost Monument Company.
"I can't begin to tell you how pleased we are with the monument you designed for us. It is absolutely beautiful! The workmanship is outstanding! ...there are not enough superlatives to let you know how pleased we are with the monument. But, we just wanted to thank you again so much for all of your help and attention to it. And, if you can, please convey our heartfelt "thanks" and especial satisfaction to the stone carvers and anyone at Troost that helped to complete the monument."
