Slant Memorials

A “slant” is the industry term for a headstone that is slanted on one side. They are similar to upright headstones and are designed to reach a maximum height of under 2 feet. Slant memorials offer many creative options for telling your loved one’s story, though they do tend to have limitations on design and lettering due to their smaller surface area.

  • Slant markers are the in-between option between a flat marker and a upright memorial. They can either have a base or no base on them. They also can have a variety of finishes.

  • For individual slant memorials, the most common and standard size is 24” L x 10” W x 16”H but can be made larger or smaller.

    For companion slant memorials, the most common and standard size is 36” L x 10” W x 16” H. Companion memorials can range in size more broadly than individual memorials and lend themselves to creative use of the burial space.

  • Slant memorials are often more economical than upright memorials as they do not require a base; slants are most commonly comprised of a slant mounted directly to a foundation.
