Types of Granite Headstones You Can Choose From

1. Types of Granite Headstones You Can Choose From

2. Introduction Many people prefer investing in granite headstones because they have a good lifespan. Moreover, they are naturally available in several colours, which means they won’t lose colour and become dull due to harsh weather conditions. 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.

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. They are popular in areas that receive a lot of snowfall since they can be seen in the winter months.

4. Flat Headstones Flat headstones, also known as flat markers, are stones that are placed flush 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 slope from the back to the front and typically have a rectangular shape.

6. Boulders Another alternative to headstones is boulders. These are more commonly placed either in a cremation garden or at a private residence where the person has been cremated. This type of headstone can be lettered/designed by sandblasting or by using a bronze plaque attached to the boulder.
