Headstone Designs

The top of a headstone sets its character. The Ogee, Semi-Ogee and Curved Top are classic, softly curving profiles; the Flat Top is clean and minimalist; Apex Top and Offset Apex are pointed, one traditional and one more contemporary; and the Mosque designs take their shape from Islamic architecture. Bloom, Faceted Barrel and Faceted Semi OG are our more distinctive profiles.

Each design looks different in each stone, so consider your shortlist alongside our granite colours and your inscription. You can try any design with your own lettering in the 3D configurator, or see how a stone looks as part of a kerb set.

Heart and Mosque 3 have limited, irregular inscription areas. Their lettering, artwork and adornments are shown with fixed sample content and cannot be edited online. If you would like one of these styles, please contact our team so we can prepare the positioning with you.

Each headstone is made to order in your chosen granite colour, and our installation follows BS 4815:2018. Installation is included in the price shown in the configurator, and the work comes with our 10-year warranty on craftsmanship and materials. Production typically takes 10 to 16 weeks. You can read more about how we work on our About page.

Once you pick a design, the 3D preview updates as you change the granite, the calligraphy and the inscription, so you can see exactly what you are ordering from every angle. Our calligraphy styles and verses and their meanings can help you decide what to inscribe, and the frequently asked questions cover pricing and timescales.

If you would like a matching kerb set, you can design one alongside your headstone, in the same granite, so the whole memorial looks consistent. Not sure where to begin? Choose the design you like best and adjust it step by step. Nothing is final until you order, and you can always ask us a question first.

Cemeteries can have rules about the size, shape and material of a memorial. Our guide to what to gather before ordering lists what to check, and we help with the permit. For a premium alternative, see our Luxe range.
