About The Business

Hicks Monuments & More is a local company, owned and operated by Carmen (Sims) Hicks, a native of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Carmen is also an independent life and health insurance agent/broker.  She has worked in both, the insurance and funeral industries since 2004, and has developed a passion for helping families through one of the most difficult times of their lives – the loss of a loved one. “It’s not just business, it’s ministry.” Carmen is amazed at how God has taken what was once her greatest fear and has turned it into her greatest passion!

Funeral pre-planning is one of the best things you can do to ensure your affairs are in order and your loved ones are prepared for an unscheduled but inevitable departure. We tend to plan for things that “might” happen, such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, etc… so why not plan for what “WILL” happen? Funeral pre-planning is a free service provided by Hicks Monuments & More. We can help you “make it easier for those you love.”

The cost of funerals can be very expensive. Oftentimes, families have to gather funds to help pay for these services and try to determine “how” and “where” they can cut costs. Typically, we can save families anywhere from several hundred to thousands of dollars. Many people are unaware that they DO NOT have to purchase a casket from the funeral home. We offer a wide range of quality, wood, and metal caskets in a variety of styles and colors, at a more affordable price.

Honor loved ones with a memorial or all-occasion gift blanket that can be treasured for generations.
