Upright headstones are the most traditional design and are composed of two parts: the base and the die (also known as the tablet). The die is the slab of stone that sits on top of the base and contains the deceased’s name and other information.

Upright companion headstones typically feature the information for two individuals.

The die/tablet for a traditional upright headstone is vertical in the front and back. The most popular top is the serpentine top but other popular top finishes include: rooftop, oval top, flat top and corner rounds.

Upright single headstones typically feature the information for an individual.

Wing headstones consist of two “wings” (die or tablets) on a base that are separated by a pedestal (or plinth) supporting a vase. The plinth typically displays the family name while the two wings display the individual names. It is also common for the base to display the family name and the plinth to display childrens’ names, marriage date or an epitaph.

Slant headstones are very similar to upright headstones with a few exceptions. Slant headstones are vertical in the back but slanted in the front, giving the bottom of the die a more stocky shape. Because of this, a base is not required on slant gravestones in order to make them sturdy. However, bases for slant headstones are still very much desired.

Slant headstones can be made for an individual (single slant headstone) or two individuals (companion slant headstone). 

Like the name suggests, flat headstones are level with the ground. Flat headstones can be set flush (completely level) with the ground or set raised (1-4”). Flat markers are rectangle in shape and usually 4 inches thick.

A bevel headstone is raised slightly higher in the back than in the front, giving a stone a slight slope. Bevel headstones are thicker than flat headstones at 6 inches thick.

Flat headstones can be made for an individual (single flat headstone) or two individuals (companion flat headstone). 

Benches have been used not only in cemeteries as grave markers, but in public areas as well.

They offer a nice place to sit and reflect loved ones and the beautiful surroundings. 

A grave slab, also referred to as a "cover", is used to mark individual graves within a family or estate monument. 

Grave slabs provide space for inscriptions and dates.

A mausoleum is an above-ground building for the burial of a deceased person or people. It can be small and contain one body, or it can be large enough to hold several caskets.
