What is an Upright Headstone?
Upright Headstones for Graves
Upright headstones are one of the most traditional styles of cemetery memorials. They stand above ground and are easy to see in a cemetery. Most upright headstones have two main parts: a base and a tablet. The tablet is the upright piece where the name, dates, inscription, and artwork are engraved.
Families often choose upright headstones because they offer more space for personalization. They can include religious symbols, family names, portraits, floral designs, or custom engraving. Upright headstones are also available in many granite colours, shapes, and finishes. This makes them a popular choice for creating a lasting and meaningful tribute.
Final price depends on cemetery rules and granite choice. Contact us for an exact quote.
