For a home builder, it would be tough to tell us directly, "how much does a house cost." The builder needs to go over the many variables involved, e.g., the size, layout, material options, which can significantly affect the cost of a home.

 

As a China monument manufacturer, we often have clients calling and asking, "how much does a headstone cost." Like a house's price is affected by many variables such as size, style, and color, etc., many factors also influence a headstone's price.  To help clients understand their options below is all about educating the public about the factors that affect Headstone Prices.

 

Size and Style

 

We accept any customized designs headstones, so before you offer us the size and style, you may need to consider the below points:

 

  • What (if any) rules does the cemetery have regarding monument sizes and styles?
  • Is the monument for one person, two people, or more?
  • What additional text would you like engraved (Epitaphs)
  • Will the monument have elaborate, detailed artwork or smaller, simple designs?
  • Are you looking for a traditional or contemporary shape?
  • Did you have a budget in mind?

 

After considering these factors, a knowledgeable memorial monument trader can help guide you through your size and style options.

 

 

Granite Colour

 

Your choice of stone color is another factor that affects the price. The granite colors available from Summit come at a variety of price points. Generally speaking, darker colors are slightly more than lighter colors due to the excellent contrast characteristics that make dark granite stone ideal for engraving.

 

Processing Method

 

Most headstones have a polished surface to be easily engraved, but how different ways finish the edges. Generally speaking, glossy finishes are a little bit more than natural rock-pitched or sawn finishes.

As a product intended to last forever, it is vital that you entrust a reputable manufacturer such as Xiamen Mason, who will provide honest, upfront answers about headstone prices.
