Understanding Headstone & Monument Sizes
Every monument is unique, and size plays an important role when determining the care, time, and preservation approach required. Below is a simple guide to help you understand how we classify headstones and monuments for quoting and service purposes.
Multiple Flat Stones
Flat Monument
Flat headstones refer to markers that are set flush with the ground or resting directly on the ground with a small hearth or base. While lower in profile, these stones still require careful, preservation-safe cleaning to protect their lettering and surface.
If a monument includes multiple flat stones within the same family plot, we offer discounted pricing on the flat markers when quoting the monument as a whole. We believe in caring for the entire family space with fairness and respect.
If a headstone or monument is higher than 36”, please contact us directly for custom pricing. Taller monuments require additional time, equipment, and care considerations.
Reach out to us if you are unsure how your monument would be categorized, we are always happy to guide you. Simply reach out with measurements or photos, and we will help you understand the best service option for your family’s needs.
Small Monument
Up to 34” wide. These are typically family markers or individual monuments with a modest footprint.
Funeral Service Preservation
Standard Monument
Up to 36” wide - The most common size found in cemeteries. Heights can vary, with the average standard headstone measuring approximately 24” high.
Our Funeral Service Preservation refers to the careful cleaning and preparation of a headstone or monument prior to a funeral service. This ensures the monument is presented with dignity and care during a time when families gather to honor their loved one.
Large Monument
Up to 72” wide. These are prominent family monuments that often feature larger bases, additional engraving, or multiple name panels.
