Finding the right memorial for your loved one can be a sensitive and challenging concern. It’s crucial to properly represent loved ones, express your personal connection, and create a respectful display. PlaqueMaker offers custom standing headstones to showcase your loved one’s name and other details to fit your needs. Standing tombstones are clearly visible and easily displayed in many traditional areas for memorials, such as dedicated gardens. The high-quality material is heavier and sturdy. Our standing headstones feature an equally modest and elegant, curved look for mourning and tender memories.

If you are going to install this headstone into the ground, please indicate how much space you’d like available at the bottom of your monument. If you do not indicate how much space you’d like available, the engraving may be covered by the ground or grown grass.

These standing tombstones do not come with a footing. Most modern monuments should be installed on a concrete foundation to protect the headstone from frost. If you do not have a foundation, the memorial can sink or lean when the ground thaws out.

Please be sure to check your cemeteries requirements before purchasing a headstone. We are not able to accept returns on headstones that are rejected by the cemetery.

Laser Engraving

Laser Engraving is the standard option for granite. In this process, the laser strikes the surface of the stone and leaves a light gray mark. The granite has natural light flecks, which can rarely affect the quality of the engraving, especially on small type, pictures, or logos. Any pictures, art or logo will be modified to be engraved in light gray.
