What are Flat Grave Markers?

Some cemeteries (or sections of cemeteries) are designed and landscaped only for flat grave markers. Flat grave markers lie flat or flush to the ground. Some people also call these types of monuments flat tombstones, flat headstones, or flat grave monuments.

A flat headstone design is simple and elegant. Sunset has many different styles, shapes, and granite colours that you can choose from.

Does Sunset Memorial & Stone Make Custom Flat Grave Markers?

Flat grave monuments are often smaller than other monuments, but there are lots of ways to make them special by choosing different types of writing and designs. After you choose the type of granite you want, you can customize the flat grave marker with one of our many finishes, fonts, icons, images, or messages. If you have questions, our sales team have lots of experience and knowledge and they can help.

Are There Different Types of Flat Grave Markers?

Flat grave markers come in many different sizes. Sunset’s flat grave markers also come in many different granite colours.

All of our flat headstones are 4 inches (100 mm) thick.

You can add companion inscriptions (e.g., partner, husband, wife, parent, child) to flat grave markers as well.

Do Flat Grave Markers Come with a Base?

Flat grave markers are usually installed flush to the ground. If you’re looking for a way to make flat grave markers stand out more, you can mount them in or on concrete foundations or granite bases. However, all cemeteries have different guidelines for flat grave markers and only some will let you do this. If this is something you’re interested in, Sunset will work closely with the cemetery you choose to make sure your flat grave monument follows their terms.
