Headstones are often the biggest expense for funerals, especially with gravesite costs. And they can cost thousands of dollars depending on where you live. Here's a video showing how to arrive at headstone prices.
A headstone is a permanent marker placed at the gravesite of a deceased individual.
There is no standard headstone price because the costs depend on various factors. The first factor that determines how much a headstone cost is its size. You'll want to ensure that the space around the grave is enough for the monument. A larger headstone will cost more than a smaller one. Besides the size, what makes a headstone expensive is the material used. Most stones are made of granite, marble, limestone, or bronze. Each variety comes at a different price. Therefore, look for the best deal on the type of stone you need. Also, you may want to add personal touches to the headstone. Doing that can increase the piece's value. Headstones are not just about the material used. The finishing options and techniques affect their prices too. Finishes range from polished to distressed, and some may require special tools and expertise.
