What makes one grave marker cost more than another?
Size is the biggest driver, followed by profile and design detail.
- Size and thickness — a 24 × 12 in stone uses twice the face area of a 16 × 8 in stone.
- Profile — flat markers use the least granite; bevel, slant and upright stones use more.
- Granite color — on 109 of the 118 designs offered in Grey and in Black or Red, Grey has the lower listed price.
- Design work — carved shapes, portraits and extra artwork add cost.
- Companion stones — room for two names makes the stone larger.
What costs are not included in the marker price?
The product price covers the stone itself. Shipping is free across the 48 contiguous states; Alaska and Hawaii are available for an additional charge. Installation is not included in the product price.
Where our service coverage is confirmed, product pages offer an optional installation add-on ($1,067) or full installation ($1,700). Cemeteries may also charge their own setting, foundation or permit fees, and the FTC notes that cemetery charges such as opening and closing a grave usually run to hundreds of dollars. Ask the cemetery for its written fee schedule.
Are there ways to lower the total cost?
Yes. Choose the size your cemetery actually requires, and compare Grey granite pricing. For orders placed between September 15 and December 31, 2026, one customer program applies per order to the eligible product subtotal:
| Program | Savings |
|---|---|
| 100% payment | 15% off |
| 3-month plan | 7.5% off |
| 6-month plan | 5% off |
| 12–36-month plan | Base price |
| Veterans (eligible long-term plan) | 10% off |
| First Responders (eligible long-term plan) | 5% off |
Example: the Cross & Rose Flat Granite Marker is listed from $333. Paid in full, the 15% program brings the eligible product price to $283.05. Programs do not stack, and taxes, cemetery fees and installation are excluded.
Do Veterans pay for a grave marker?
Eligible Veterans can receive a government headstone or marker at no cost. The VA furnishes one for the unmarked grave of an eligible Veteran regardless of date of death, but it does not pay the cost of setting it in a private cemetery. Families who prefer a privately purchased stone can still request a VA medallion for it.
