About Double Grave Markers

What is a double grave marker?

Double grave markers, often called double flat headstones, are memorials designed to commemorate and honor two individuals who are buried side by side in a shared plot - usually a husband and wife. These markers serve as a symbolic representation of the lives and legacies of both individuals. Double grave markers can be placed either flush or low to the ground and installed at the head or foot of the grave. They are often built in addition to an upright double or family memorial.

How much do custom double flat headstones cost?

On average, custom double flat headstones will start around $2,000 and can range between $3,000 - $6,000 for premium materials and more personalized details (like artisan etching, memorial portraits and vases). To save a little on cost, consider choosing from an existing catalog of designs - these designs start at $1,249.

Our vision for double grave markers and flat headstones

A double grave marker holds a special significance, often portraying the everlasting bond and shared life between two individuals. While double flat headstones symbolize a shared bond, they can also be adorned with elements specific to each individual. This type of memorial, often in the form of a double flat headstone, carries the responsibility of encapsulating the unique stories and cherished memories of both individuals. As skilled monument makers, we understand the importance of personalization, offering custom double grave markers and flat headstones that honor the lives of your loved ones with unparalleled creativity and craftsmanship.

Many cemeteries specifically require flat grave markers, this is primarily due to the increased ease of maintaining the grounds around the memorials - however, most cemeteries require that the granite be adorned with a bronze memorial plaque which significantly adds to the cost. This style of memorial seamlessly blends into the natural landscape, offering a serene and timeless presence that allows the focus to remain on the memories and legacies of those interred.

Our team of skilled designers will listen to your vision, stories and ideas, taking into account any specific symbols, quotes, or images that hold special meaning to your loved one(s) and family.
