When your loved one died, it is not a tiny expenditure concerned with their burial expenses. Among the things you need to prepare, buying a headstone may account for a large part since most headstone costs are expensive.

If you know what determines the cost of a headstone and how to save money when buying it, you can economize a lot of money.

The Factors Influence The Cost of Headstone

Many factors influence the cost of the headstone, but the three most important ones are material, size and artwork.

Material

Since stone can keep longer without being destroyed easily and hardly fall, it becomes the most popular material for making headstone.

Granite, marble, sandstone and slate are applied in tombstone production. Prices for each kind of stone vary widely. Even for identical stones, different colours charge differently.

Size

The size is another factor affecting the price of a gravestone. It can be varied according to the style you choose.

Upright Monuments - Generally, a monument is 20 to 48 inches tall and 20 to 36 inches long. The size of a granite companion monument would be longer, between 24 to 60.

Flat Markers - the standard size of a flat marker is 24&#;×12&#;×4&#;. The companion flat marker is larger, 36&#;×12&#;×4&#;.

Slant - Although the slant marker looks like an upright memorial monument, it is virtual much less expensive. A slant stone is 24 to 36 inches wide, 16 to 18 inches tall, 10 inches thick.

Artwork

Once the material and size are confirmed, it is still a critical process needing attention - artwork. The headstone artwork is comprehensive, but the basic processes are unchanged: Cutting headstone, Polishing the surface, engraving and sandblasting letters, washing tombstone.

If you only require a simple design gravestone, these steps are enough for you. However, if you prefer a unique design cemetery monument with intricate artistry, the expense will be more considerable since masons should spend more time and energy to carve it.
