The upright headstone is basically understood as a block of granite stand on a granite base. The shapes of upright headstones are variated. The common one is rectangular with a curved one on the top. Other shapes of upright headstones are custom by customer’s requirement, such as heart shape, the angel with a monument, hand holding the heart, etc. The surface is polished to the glossy finish

Today we talk about the common upright headstone here, because it is so popular than any other style of headstone in cemeteries. Normally the upright headstone will use natural granite as material. Natural granite has rich in colors, therefore, the familiar colors of upright headstones in cemeteries are black (G654), grey (G633), red (Mahogany color), white, etc.

After the customer selected the color of granite, then we need to know the specification of the headstone that is available to install at different cemeteries. The common sizes for simple upright headstones are as below:

Tombstone Base
24″(L) x 6″(W) x 18″(H) 36″(L) X 12″(W) X 6″(H)
36″(L) x 6″(W) x 20″(H) 48″(L) x 12″(W) x 6″(H)
42″(L) x 6″(W) x 20″(H) 54″(L) x 12″(W) x 6″(H)
30″(L) x 6″(W) x 18″(H) 42″(L) X 12″(W) X 6″(H)
48″(L) x 8″(W) x 24″(H) 60″(L) X 14″(W) X 8″(H)

The above size of the granite base is designed to scale to the related upright headstone. There is another option which is a granite base wider for engraving a granite vase on one side or both sides.

We do customize the size, style, and design for customers. Be patient to communicate with customers to understand their requirements and record the information of the deceased person, and provide the cases of design for reference.
