About Us

For generations, families across Northwest Louisiana have trusted our work during some of life’s most difficult moments. While our name has evolved, our purpose has remained the same—to create lasting memorials with care, craftsmanship, and respect.

Formerly known as Waldron Monument, our company now proudly operates as Magnolia Trail Memorials. This new name reflects both our Southern roots and the path of remembrance that connects families, history, and legacy. Though the name has changed, the people, values, and dedication behind our work have not.

From Waldron Monument to Magnolia Trail Memorials

The transition from Waldron Monument to Magnolia Trail Memorials represents a thoughtful evolution, not a departure. For decades, families knew us as Waldron Monument—a name built on trust, quality craftsmanship, and personal service.

As our company grew and entered a new chapter of leadership, the Magnolia Trail Memorials name was chosen to better reflect who we are today while honoring where we come from. “Magnolia” symbolizes strength, grace, and longevity, while “Trail” represents the lasting path of memory each memorial leaves behind.

Families who worked with Waldron Monument can expect the same level of care, the same commitment to quality, and the same familiar faces—now under a name that reflects both tradition and forward movement.

Tony Reynolds

Tony’s granite career started in 2010. He was drawn to the creativity of working with stone to design unique memorials, and quickly realized his love for the families he would meet and help along the way. He developed a passion for telling the story of a life well-lived through a meaningful memorial.

Tony took every opportunity he had to hone his craft by working with as many monument makers as he could meet to learn everything there was to know. He keeps up with industry changes and brings a fresh eye to every memorial he creates, all while honoring the importance of tradition.

Tony takes pride in servicing the families he works with every day. Communication, creativity, and quality craftsmanship are always the top priority.

More Than Memorials

While many families come to us for cemetery headstones and markers, our work extends beyond traditional memorials. Magnolia Trail Memorials also creates custom monuments for schools, businesses, neighborhoods, churches, and community spaces.

Each project—whether personal or public—is treated with the same level of care and craftsmanship.
