Classic Slant Granite Headstone with Vase

The Classic Slant Granite Headstone with Vase combines the practical height profile of a slant marker with an integrated granite vase—a drilled cylinder cut from the same stone block—providing a permanent holder for fresh-cut flowers, seasonal arrangements, or a potted plant beside the inscription. Measuring approximately 24 × 6 × 10 inches and rising 10–14 inches at the tallest point, this design fits cemeteries with an 18-inch height restriction where upright monuments are prohibited.

The angled polished face—set at 15°–25° from vertical—offers clear readability from a standing position and resists water pooling, keeping names and dates legible through all weather conditions. The integrated granite vase is carved from the same piece of stone, so it remains permanently positioned and will not tip or be moved by grounds maintenance crews. The polished face accommodates a full name, birth and death dates, a verse or epitaph, and a small decorative emblem such as a rose, heart, cross, or military insignia.

Available in seven granite colors: Galaxy Black, Indian Black, Grey, Bahama Blue, Bahama Blue Light, Indian Red, and Paradiso Old. Galaxy Black makes the vase opening and engraved lettering stand out most clearly; Bahama Blue and Bahama Blue Light are popular in garden sections where the blue-toned granite complements flower arrangements. Grey gives a traditional churchyard look.

Every order includes a complimentary digital design proof with revisions—your family reviews the full layout, vase position, and lettering before production. Our cemetery coordination team confirms height limits, vase clearance, and installation specifications with your cemetery. Memory Headstones has crafted granite memorials across three generations since 1960.
