Upright Headstones: A Timeless Tradition

Standing memorials, commonly known as upright headstones, are the traditional style of headstones. These monuments stand tall, are securely attached to a granite base, and are set on either a concrete or granite foundation. With endless possibilities in shape, size, and color, upright headstones offer a highly customizable way to honor a loved one.

As one of the most recognized forms of memorialization, upright headstones symbolize remembrance and provide families with a meaningful way to commemorate their loved ones. The process of designing and placing a memorial not only creates a lasting tribute but also plays a crucial role in the grieving and healing process, offering a sense of closure.
