Who we are

Founded in 1972 by Johnny Perry, alongside his wife Shirley Perry, J&R Finishing Company began as more than just a business—it was a calling. Rooted in faith, family, and craftsmanship, Johnny built a legacy of honoring loved ones through stone, ensuring that every monument told a story of love, life, and remembrance.

Located in Elberton, Georgia—the Granite Capital of the World—J&R has always stood for excellence, creating lasting tributes that preserve the memories of those who came before us. Over the years, this legacy has been carried on by their children, Rita Brown and Scott Perry, who continue to uphold the same values of faith, integrity, and dedication to serving families in their most tender moments.

With a 120,600-square-foot facility and state-of-the-art equipment, we bring both precision and artistry to every monument we create. But at J&R, our work is more than craftsmanship—it’s a ministry. We believe that each life is created by God, precious and worth remembering. That’s why we pour our hearts into every detail, helping families find comfort in knowing their loved one’s story is set in stone.

This isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. A family of faith. A company built on love. A promise to honor every legacy with the care it deserves.
