About Single Grave Markers and flat Headstones

What is a single grave marker?

A single grave marker, often called a single flat headstone, is a memorial placed at a grave to commemorate an individual who has passed away. Typically installed either at the head or foot of the grave, a single grave marker can be flush or near-ground level and made from granite or marble. It serves as a personalized and lasting tribute, bearing the name, dates of birth and death, and symbolic adornment that reflects the individual's life and legacy.

How much do custom single flat headstones cost?

On average, custom single flat headstones will start around $800 and commonly range between $2,000 - $4,000 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 flat headstone designs start at $599.
