Carst Monuments is a new memorial service store fronted by designer 37 year old Stephen Bostwick. With over 20 years of experience Bostwick began his monument career back in 1985 apprenticing for Jack Porter of Fairview Monuments. After Fairview Monuments folded in 1989, Steve continued on working for what was then Carst Monuments of Collinwood - today known as Nagy's Monuments. After working full time in the field for 10 years, Steve decided to take on a different field - aerospace and landed a job at Howmet Tempcraft of Cleveland as a Production Control Coordinator/Admin Assistant while working part time as an outsource designer for several monument companies in the Cleveland area. After the 9-11 tragedy of 2001 and moving into a new house in Mentor, Mr. Bostwick was let go from Tempcraft, been through several temporary jobs and for the last 4 years has maintained 3 part time jobs to make ends meet: Home Depot, Volk Optical and Nagy's Monuments.Finally 2006 has brought Steve Bostwick to the decision to get back into the monument industry full time, only now as an entrepreneur at Carst Monument Design and Art Supply 1101 Lost Nation Rd. in Willoughby, just south of Lakeshore Blvd. Carst will feature gravesite crosses, flowers, vases and ceramic statuary as well as full service for Monuments and grave markers for all cemeteries in Northeast Ohio.

The name "Carst" by definition is spelled Karst: a Lake that is at the bottom of where 2 mountains meet i.e. the Alps in Slovenia or an underground river that collects lime deposits and produces limestone. The name was first used in 1928 when Frank Kosich Sr. immigrated to the United States and started his own company here after being raised around the trade in Slovenia. The Letter K was substituted with a C since there is no K in the Slovenian language.
