Are Upright headstones the most traditional type of grave marker?
Upright headstones, frequently referred to as tombstones, are considered the most traditional type of grave marker.
What are typical upright headstone sizes?
Upright granite headstones are generally 42 inches long, 13 inches wide, and 4 inches thick.
Can a headstone be changed?
You can add to an existing headstone, but it is not a quick process. In most cases, any additions you wish to make after a headstone placement must be made at the cemetery.
How much does an upright headstone cost?
Upright headstones at Legacy Headstones range from approximately $2,500 to $6,000+, depending on size, granite color, and engraving complexity. Single upright headstones start lower, while large companion uprights with custom laser-etched portraits or scenery designs are at the higher end. All prices include free shipping to the Lower 48 states. Installation fees are separate and paid directly to your cemetery.
What is the difference between an upright headstone and a flat grave marker?
Upright headstones stand vertically on a base and offer more surface area for inscriptions, portraits, and custom designs. Flat (grass-level) markers sit flush with the ground and are more affordable, typically ranging from $500 to $1,500. Some cemeteries only allow flat markers in certain sections, so always check your cemetery's regulations before choosing. Both types are made from durable granite and come with Legacy Headstones' lifetime guarantee.
Do all cemeteries allow upright headstones?
No. Many cemeteries have section-specific rules that restrict headstone types. Some sections only allow flat markers, while others permit uprights of certain dimensions. Always contact your cemetery before purchasing to ask about size limits, material requirements, and whether upright monuments are permitted in your loved one's section. Legacy Headstones can call your cemetery directly to verify their specifications on your behalf.
How long does it take to receive an upright headstone after ordering?
Production time for upright headstones is typically 6 to 10 weeks from the date of order, plus approximately one week for shipping. Rush orders are available for an additional fee if you need the headstone sooner. Legacy Headstones will send you a proof for approval before engraving begins, so the final product matches your vision exactly.
