How Much Does a Headstone Cost? A Realistic Pricing Breakdown
MAY 20, 2024
One of the first questions families ask when planning a memorial is: how much does a headstone actually cost? It's a fair and practical question — and unfortunately, the answer isn't always easy to find. Prices vary widely depending on the type of stone, the material, the size, and how much customization you want.
This guide gives you a clear, honest picture of what headstones cost at different levels, so you can plan with confidence.
These are a dignified, respectful choice — not a compromise. Many of the most touching memorials are simple flat stones with a meaningful inscription.
Companion upright headstones (for two people) start around $3,000 and go up from there based on size and design
Is engraving included? Is the base (foundation) included? Does delivery cover installation at the cemetery, or just shipment to a location? Are there cemetery setting fees on top of the headstone price?
Cemetery setting fees — what the cemetery charges to place the headstone — typically add $200 to $500 or more and are usually separate from the headstone purchase.
Marble is softer and more traditional-looking, but it weathers over time and tends to cost more. Bronze markers — usually affixed to granite or concrete bases — are common in military cemeteries and run $500 to $2,000 or more.
