What sizes are typical for a single-person headstone?
Single headstones commonly run in the range of roughly 24" to 36" wide and 12" to 24" tall for upright styles, though exact dimensions vary by cemetery requirements and design.
What's the difference between an upright and a flat single headstone?
An upright headstone stands vertically above the ground, while a flat (or flush) single headstone lies level with the grass. Some cemeteries require one style or the other in certain sections.
Can a single headstone be upgraded or added to later (e.g., for a second interment)?
Yes — additional engraving can be added to an existing headstone later, but it isn't a quick process. In most cases, this work must be completed at the cemetery rather than beforehand.
What materials are commonly used for single-person headstones?
Granite is the most common material for single-person headstones because of its durability, though marble and bronze are also used, each with different maintenance needs and price points.
How is text or an image typically added to a single headstone?
Text and images are typically added through sandblast or laser engraving, and photo portraits can be added as an engraved image or, on some designs, a ceramic photo plaque.
