Types of Headstones Available in Sacramento

Our Sacramento inventory includes every major headstone style required by Northern California cemeteries:

Upright headstones are the most traditional choice, standing vertically on a granite base. They offer the largest engraving area for names, dates, portraits, and artwork. Prices for upright headstones at Remembrance Headstones start around $2,500 and range up to $40,000 or more for luxury monuments with multiple sculptures and custom shapes.

Flat grave markers sit flush with the ground and are required by many modern lawn-style cemeteries. They are the most affordable option, starting at under $500 for basic bronze or granite markers. Our flat markers are crafted from the same premium granite as our upright monuments, ensuring decades of durability.

Slant headstones feature an angled face that makes inscriptions easy to read. They combine the visibility of an upright with the lower profile preferred by some cemeteries. Our slant headstones include matching granite vases and custom artwork.

Bench headstones serve a dual purpose: they mark a gravesite while providing a place for visitors to sit and reflect. These are particularly popular in Sacramento's spacious memorial parks.

Special shaped headstones include hearts, angels, crosses, and completely custom silhouettes. Our CNC machines and 3D printing technology allow us to create virtually any shape from solid granite.

Granite Colors and Materials

Remembrance Headstones offers five standard granite colors for most monuments: Elite Grey, Blue Pearl, Indian Black Premium, Indian Red, and Morning Rose. Each color is quarried from specific regions known for producing the hardest, most weather-resistant stone. Indian Black Premium is the most popular choice in Sacramento because it provides excellent contrast for laser-etched portraits and detailed artwork.

All of our headstones include custom 3D design previews, portrait photo engraving, cemetery regulation guidance, and nationwide delivery with optional professional installation including foundation setting.

The Ordering Process: From Selection to Installation

The process begins with choosing your headstone. Browse our full headstone catalog online or visit our Sacramento showroom at 5349 Elkhorn Boulevard. Once you select a design, our team contacts the cemetery to confirm all requirements and regulations.

Next, our design team creates a detailed 3D model of your headstone with all custom text, artwork, and portraits. You review and approve the design before any production begins. After approval, our manufacturing team crafts the headstone using a combination of CNC machines, robotic carving, and hand-finishing techniques.

The complete process from order to installation typically takes 1 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of the design and cemetery scheduling. Our team handles all delivery logistics and coordinates directly with the cemetery for professional installation, including foundation setting when required.
