The Cave Company’s legacy in craftsmanship spans over a century, rooted in tradition and fueled by a passion for artistry and excellence. For more than 100 years our family has created custom bronze statues, marble sculptures, memorial monuments, church statuary, and architectural artwork.
Our story began in 1921 with James W. Cave Contracting. Then William O’Leary Cave Sr., after serving under General Douglas MacArthur in World War II, founded the William O’Leary Cave Company, quickly establishing it as the premier provider of Church goods and religious articles in the New York metropolitan area.
As the company grew, William Sr.’s three sons—William O. Cave II, Michael J. Cave, and Gregory P. Cave—carried the tradition forward, expanding our services to include Church restoration and renovation, interior design, custom signage, and custom bronze and marble statuary. Their leadership brought the company into the modern era, always staying true to our core values of craftsmanship, integrity, and attention to detail.
Today, under the direction of Gregory Cave, The Cave Company continues to build upon more than a century of craftsmanship, embracing new opportunities in custom bronze and marble statues, Tree of Life fundraising programs, historic restoration, and museum-quality sculpture. Our team designs, sculpts, casts, carves, and installs custom statues for churches, memorials, schools, municipalities, veterans organizations, architects, businesses, and private collectors across the United States. Whether creating a life-size bronze memorial, a hand-carved marble religious statue, a public monument, or a one-of-a-kind commemorative sculpture, every project reflects four generations of expertise and an unwavering commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
As we look toward the future, the next generation of Cave sons, daughters, cousins, and extended family proudly carries forward the traditions of quality, integrity, and personal service that have defined our family since 1921. Together, we're building on our legacy to make The Cave Company America's most trusted source for custom bronze and marble statues, timeless memorials, and enduring works of art.
Creating a custom bronze or marble statue involves far more than artistic talent. It requires careful planning, structural engineering, expert sculpting, trusted foundry relationships, secure transportation, and precise installation. With four generations of experience dating back to 1921, we've refined every stage of the process to prevent costly mistakes and deliver exceptional results. Whether we're creating a church statue, public memorial, school mascot, or private commission, our experience ensures your investment is completed with confidence, craftsmanship, and lasting quality.
Whether you're honoring a loved one, commissioning a church statue, creating a public memorial, or designing a one-of-a-kind work of art, our family is here to help. Contact us today for a free consultation and preliminary estimate.
