Visionaries Guiding Gifford Monument with Heart
Nick and Alissa Kurz, Owners
Nick and Alissa Kurz are honored to carry forward the legacy of Gifford Monument, a company that has served families across Oklahoma and Texas for over 80 years. Taking the helm of this historic Ada, Oklahoma institution, they have brought fresh energy and vision while staying true to the values of craftsmanship, compassion, and community service that have defined Gifford Monument since 1936.
Their passion for memorial craftsmanship goes beyond business—it's about preserving stories, honoring lives, and providing comfort to families during their most difficult moments. Nick brings expertise in monument design and fabrication, ensuring every piece meets the highest standards of quality and artistry. Alissa specializes in client relations and custom design consultation, working closely with families in Ada, Wylie, and throughout the region to create truly personalized tributes.
Together, they've expanded Gifford Monument's reach by opening a second location in Wylie, Texas, allowing them to better serve families throughout North Central Texas and the Texoma area. This growth reflects their commitment to making expert memorial services accessible to more families while maintaining the personalized attention and quality that Gifford Monument is known for.
Under their leadership, Gifford Monument has embraced modern design technologies—including advanced laser engraving and 3D modeling capabilities—while preserving traditional hand-crafted techniques. This blend of innovation and tradition allows them to create monuments that are both timeless and unique, just like the lives they commemorate.
Nick and Alissa are deeply connected to the communities they serve. They understand that their role extends beyond creating beautiful monuments; they're here to guide, support, and walk alongside families through the memorial planning process. Whether you're in Ada, Durant, Ardmore, Sherman, McKinney, or anywhere across Oklahoma and Texas, they're committed to providing the same compassionate service and expert craftsmanship that has been the hallmark of Gifford Monument for generations.
"Every monument we create is a sacred responsibility. We're not just crafting stone—we're preserving memories, honoring legacies, and providing comfort to families. That's what drives us every day."
— Nick and Alissa Kurz
