Star of David Granite Headstone

The Star of David Granite Headstone — known in Hebrew as the Magen David ("Shield of David") — is a dignified Jewish memorial stone rooted in faith, heritage, and the matzevah tradition that has guided Jewish mourning practice for centuries. Measuring 26 × 4 × 30 inches, this granite Jewish headstone is crafted in your choice of seven enduring colors: Galaxy Black, Indian Black, Grey, Bahama Blue, Bahama Blue Light, Indian Red, and Paradiso Old. The Magen David symbol is rendered in precise raised or sandblasted engraving, recognizable to both Ashkenazi and Sephardic communities as the primary marker of Jewish identity and divine protection.

Traditional Hebrew inscription begins with the acronym פ נ (Peh Nun, meaning "Here lies") at the top of the stone and concludes with תנצבה (Tav Nun Tzadi Bet Heh, an acronym for "May his/her/their soul be bound up in the bond of life") at the base. Our memorial specialists work closely with rabbinical guidance to ensure that Hebrew letter forms, vowel markings (nikkud), and date formats — including the Hebrew calendar year and the term "yahrzeit" observed each year on the Hebrew date — are engraved with full accuracy. English and Hebrew names, the deceased's Hebrew name (shem kodesh), and both Gregorian and Hebrew dates of death are accommodated on the polished inscription panel.

Jewish cemeteries — whether Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, or non-denominational — may each have specific monument size, material, and inscription requirements. Families are encouraged to confirm stone height limits, base specifications, and symbol approvals with their cemetery administrator before ordering. Our team verifies dimensions and placement requirements directly with your cemetery before production, at no extra cost.

Laser-etched photographic portraits, additional Jewish symbols (menorah, Kohen hands, Levite water and pitcher), and Shabbat candlestick motifs are available upon request.
