Popular Materials Used For Cemetery Headstones

I have lost my dear grandmother and now want to honor her by building a headstone. I want to make sure that her headstone is the best one. What are the popular materials used for making cemetery headstones?

These days, cemetery headstones are mostly made of granite stone, a beautiful and elegant natural stone. This material is durable, hard and cost-effective when compared to other materials. It can also withstand extreme climates and even acid rain pollution.

Another cemetery headstone material widely preferred is bronze. This material is sturdy and is resistant to harsh weather conditions. Some memorial parks and cemeteries allow only bronze grave headstones.

Marble is another popular choice for headstones. However, due to moisture, it tends to erode over a period of time, leaving the name and other details on the headstone blurry and indistinct.

Limestone and sandstone are other favored materials used by different monument building companies worldwide.
