Grave before and after

What types of headstones are there?

Flat wedge headstone

Tablets and wedges (flat markers)

Flat marker headstones are laid flat on the ground and typically made from granite. They are perfect for marking an ashes burial or for a simple memorial. Inscriptions do however tend to weather more quickly than upright headstones due to the water being able to settle in the inscribed letters.

Upright headstones

Upright headstones

A popular option, with an upright tablet structure and matching base. As long as they meet cemetery regulations, upright headstones can be any shape, size and design.

Granite kerbset

Kerbsets

Available in some cemeteries, this memorial includes an upright headstone and a matching kerb-set to mark the grave boundary, with chippings covering the grave.

Slate headstone

Slate headstone

Slate headstones appeal to many, especially those with local heritage. The quality of the slate will determine its appearance and durability over time. Cheaper slate can discolour or shatter/chip in local weather conditions.

Sandstone headstone

Sandstone headstone

This natural-looking material can be used in both churchyards and cemeteries. It is softer than granite and marble and slightly porous.

Granite headstone

Granite headstone

The most popular choice for a memorial due to minimal maintenance, granite is a non-porous, tough and durable stone, available in a variety of colours and finishes.
