Granite Headstones and Grave Stones for the Placer County Climate

A search for headstones granite near me matters more in Placer County than most people expect. Summers go over 100°F with heavy ultraviolet exposure, while wet winters allow water to seep into porous materials. Marble softens and wears out fast, limestone absorbs water and cracks from inside, and composite materials chalk and disintegrate within a few years.

Granite is the only material we work with. Granite absorbs virtually no moisture, stays polished under the impact of the sun and keeps letter edges sharp for decades after the family that ordered it has grown up. All memorials come with a lifetime craftsmanship warranty.

Our selection of granite headstones consists of dark and light colors that provide good contrast in valley light: deep black, classic grey, red, Volga Blue, Paradiso Old and Tam Brown. A laser-etched portrait on black granite is of photographic depth, and grey harmonizes with the color of other monuments in the plot, which is particularly important when it comes to Berry Street. Volga Blue and Paradiso Old provide a patterned grave stone that looks like no other. To choose granite that matches an existing monument, send a photograph taken during the day.

Flat Grave Markers, Upright Headstones and Bench Headstone Formats

The grave markers headstones terminology confuses many people, so here is the straight explanation. A marker sits at ground level or a little above and is readable from above it. A headstone stands above the ground and is readable from the path. These are both granite monuments, and the cemetery determines the type you may use.

Flat and bevel burial markers are the most economical and meet the strictest lawn-section requirements. Slant markers are a compromise: they make the face readable without adding much height to the monument. Upright headstones allow placing the largest possible inscription on the face, with enough space for emblems, portraits and a carved surname on the top of the stone. Ledgers cover the entire plot. A bench headstone gives a place to rest for visitors and turns a plot into a place where people spend some time instead of just passing by. The bench headstone can be equipped with a sealed cremation chamber and become the resting place at the same time.

Whichever type you choose, the inscription and all the engravings are included in the price of the stone, together with the design work, the emblem carving and the epitaph line. There is no separate lettering invoice at the end of the job.

How Much Does a Headstone Cost in Roseville

How much does a headstone cost is the question people find embarrassing, so here is the plain answer: format, size, granite color and the amount of engraved detail drive the price. From our current selection, a children’s memorial costs around $1,447, a modest upright headstone with a shaped top costs about $2,660 to $4,021, a larger serpentine headstone is priced $4,224 to $7,286, and bench headstones start at about $5,241.

These prices include the design consultation, the 3D preview, the inscription and delivery to the cemetery. Installation is not included. Nearly every cemetery requires the setting to be performed under its own supervision or by a licensed setter, and this charge goes to the cemetery or to the installer, not to us. We tell you about this charge in advance, coordinate the schedule and can organize an experienced local installer in Roseville.
