Whether you call it a headstone, a tombstone, or a tomb marker, our granite memorials come in an array of striking, natural hues, each ideal for evoking its own emotions and symbolism. On this page, you will find our most beautiful red, black, pink, and grey granite memorials.
Red granite is bold and passionate, often symbolizing love, courage, and strength. It flawlessly embodies the warmth of cherished memories, making it an ideal choice for the loved one who lived passionately and fearlessly. In contrast, pink granite memorials have a softer, more tender shade often associated with affection, innocence, and compassion. Grey granite is timeless and classic and can signify balance, stability, and wisdom, and Black granite memorials command attention with solemn yet elegant beauty.
Each of our memorial headstones starts with nothing less than premium, American-sourced granite, meticulously chosen for superb quality and exceptional beauty to ensure that not only do our granite memorials last for hundreds of years but that your loved one's legacy and headstone remains and withstands the test of time and weather.

What's the difference between a headstone, a grave marker, and a memorial?
A headstone and a grave marker both refer to a stone that identifies a burial site, though "grave marker" is often used for flat or flush markers and "headstone" for upright ones. "Memorial" is the broader term and can include benches, plaques, and other tributes beyond the grave marker itself.
How do I know what type of memorial is allowed at a specific cemetery?
Cemetery rules vary by property, so the reliable way to confirm what's allowed is to check with the cemetery office directly before ordering — they can tell you permitted materials, size limits, and whether upright or flat markers are required in that section.
How far in advance of a burial should a memorial be ordered?
Production typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, plus about a week for shipping, so ordering as soon as possible after a loss helps ensure the memorial is ready when needed. Rush production is available for an additional fee if a shorter timeline is required.
Can a memorial be added or changed after it's already installed at the gravesite?
Yes — additions can be made to a memorial after installation, though it isn't a quick process. In most cases, this type of work must be completed at the cemetery rather than beforehand.
What information is typically included on a memorial (dates, epitaphs, images)?
Most memorials include the name, birth and death dates, and often an epitaph, with many families also adding a photo, religious or military emblem, or a short design element that reflects the person's life.
Do cemeteries have rules about memorial size, material, or design?
Yes — many cemeteries set their own rules on memorial size, material, and design, particularly in sections reserved for flat markers. Checking with the cemetery before finalizing a design avoids having to make changes later.
