California Monumental Company was created in 1930 by George Demicheli. Our family became involved in 1956 when Andrew Brunetti, who was already well versed in the art of memorials, befriended George and began working side by side with him. Upon George's retirement in 1969, Andrew became the owner of the company and grew California Monumental with the help of his wife, whom he adored, Eleanor Brunetti.
