1. Types of Granite Headstones You Can Choose From

2. Introduction Once you decide on the type of stone and the colour you would like, you have to choose the type of headstone that you want for your loved one’s grave. The following are some of the common types of headstones you can choose from:

3. Upright Headstones These stones are one of the most traditional headstones out there. They usually sit on a granite base and are popular because they can be seen or spotted even from afar.

4. Flat Headstones Flat headstones, also known as flat markers, are stones that are placed on the ground. They are the least expensive option for a headstone since they do not require any additional support.

5. Pillow Headstones These stones usually consist of a sloped headstone that sits on a granite base which is used to protect the front of the monument. They have slope from the back to the front and typically have a rectangular shape.

6. Boulders This type of headstone can be lettered/designed by sandblasting or by using a bronze plaque attached to the boulder.

7. Conclusion Many people prefer investing in granite headstones because they have a good lifespan. However, when choosing a headstone, there are several things you should consider apart from the colour of the granite, the type of stone, and the structural integrity of the stone.
